Beschreibung

I improve how organizations perform – by aligning structure, decision-making and leadership.

With 8+ years at Amazon (Alexa AI), I’ve led global teams and built performance systems across 20+ markets. My work consistently focused on one question: where does execution break down – and how do you fix it at the root?

I operate at the intersection of:

- organizational structure and operating models

- decision-making, ownership and prioritization

- leadership behavior and team dynamics

I don’t just redesign systems – I work directly with leaders to improve how they make decisions, lead teams and operate under real conditions.

My strength lies in diagnosing complexity, identifying structural and behavioral bottlenecks, and translating them into measurable improvements in output, quality and efficiency.

I take on consultant, interim and fractional leadership roles in complex, tech-driven environments, from end-to-end ownership of transformation initiatives to focused support for leaders and teams, with a focus on Interim Management, Transformation Leadership, Chief of Staff and Organizational Performance roles.
