As a Partner & Managing Director within valantic CX, I lead our practice for customer engagement transformations, powered by Salesforce. Prior to my role at valantic, I delivered global transformation projects in this field, working for a global consulting firm and an expert digital agency.

I still enjoy to regularly publish together with representatives from academia and practice.

I am grateful to have a beautiful family and two wonderful children of two and four years. Together we love to travel (South Africa, but also mountains and the seaside of Europe), go on bike rides, swimming, on the SUP or playing tennis. Beyond that, I have a great passion for cooking and interest in food-wine-pairing, especially German Riesling. If time allows, I personally enjoy reading and listening to podcasts on philosophy, (geo)politics and other social matters.
