As an experienced practitioner and managing director in the consulting sector, I specialize in medium- to long-term business development. After completing a technical education, I broadened my horizons with business administration knowledge and deepened my technical focus by studying industrial engineering at the Graz University of Technology.

Immediately after graduating, I began my career in consulting. My first position, which focused on increasing productivity, provided intensive foundational training for my professional development. Diverse projects in various business areas, as well as internal development work in the areas of structuring and building analytical tools, HR processes, and corporate identity, shaped my path to the position of project manager at my first employer.

My interest in medium- to long-term business development continued to grow, leading me to become self-employed after almost seven years as an employed consultant. A year later, I reconnected with my former colleague Michael Koch, which resulted in a fruitful collaboration. Together, we supported clients at various stages of development and across different areas, focusing on sustainable improvements and targeted growth. This intensive collaboration culminated in a partnership within the CPLUSM network in 2014.

In 2015, we founded a joint company in Austria to further expand our entrepreneurial activities. Since then, we have been continuously developing the CPLUSM brand within our circle of senior partners and constantly attracting interesting and experienced colleagues to our network.

At the beginning of 2024, a new era began when Christian Herschel and I took over the management of the network and launched with many new topics and initiatives.
