Swiss-based therapist specialising in women’s hormonal and digestive health, with a particular focus on gut health and hormonal balance. I run my private practice, Nutrition-Therapy.ch, in Zurich, where I integrate clinical nutrition with advanced diagnostic testing—including hormonal, metabolic, stool, microbiome, and DNA analyses—to restore gut function, hormonal balance, and metabolic resilience. My training includes the Stanford Center for Health Education, the Institut Français de Micro-Immunothérapie, a CAS in Eating and Behaviour from the University of Geneva, and the Functional Nutrition Alliance. Accredited by ASCA and RME, I work in French, Italian, English, and German with a multicultural client base and regularly speak at conferences and professional events on women’s health, hormones, and the gut microbiome. Alongside my practice, I collaborate with Swiss online clinics on cases using an interdisciplinary approach and diagnostic testing. I have also contributed a forthcoming scientific chapter on the gut microbiome for a multidisciplinary book on health.

From Physics to People

Forget the stereotype of the physicist in corduroys; I thrive on working with people. Physics taught me systems thinking, and humans are the most complex systems of all.

Fifteen years ago in Japan, my mentor taught me the concept of "Paying Forward"—passing value to the next person rather than paying it back. After a career spanning global leadership roles, deep dives into Agile and Lean, and managing the transformation of 30+ production sites, it is time to pay it forward.

I see a disconnect: firms stuck in Agile/Lean transformations because production lacks flexibility, or efficient factories slowed down by sluggish R&D. Above all, I see leaders struggling with growing complexity.

My expertise sits in the "magic triangle" of Agile, Lean, and Leadership. Trusted by industry leaders like SBB or SAP, I help leaders and organizations navigate their specific growth journeys.

Offline: I’m a tennis club chairman, athlete, Heavy Metal enthusiast, father and reader of epic fantasy.
