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.

I love making sense of complexity — whether it’s ship simulators, EV diagnostics, or fast-moving startup ideas. My sweet spot is where engineering meets empathy: designing tools that actually help people do hard things better.

I work across the full product cycle — from discovery and research to UI, prototyping, and handoff. I’ve redesigned training platforms for skippers, launched a mobile app for trainers and clients, and helped streamline EV telemetry tools.

Along the way, I’ve co-founded a startup and led a small design team, improved design systems, and learned to speak both user and developer fluently.

My background is a mix of UX, logistics, and human-machine interface design. I’m endlessly curious, not afraid of ambiguity, and always up for translating messy real-world problems into clear digital experiences.
