LecturerSharing real stories

The great aim of education is not knowledge

but action.

Herbert Spencer1820 – 1903

I bring learnings from the shop floor into the lecture hall – and theories back into the boardroom.

In my lectures for executives and students, I talk about the wins, the obstacles and the failures – and why it matters to innovate.

I truly enjoy exchanging stories with the people who will shape tomorrow's companies.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION
The REHAU blueprint.

I open the books on a real industrial transformation: how we built REHAU's venture client unit, what I did differently this time, and how we empower REHAU to unfold the full potential of AI. What our everyday problems look like, how we get past them – and how to move fast inside long-grown structures without breaking what made the company strong.

A blueprint for other industrial companies.
