CEO Advisory

It’s lonely at the top of a company. The pressure – especially in publicly traded companies – is enormous and multifaceted. First-time CEOs feel this stress intensely. Who can they confide in? With whom do they discuss mission-critical, often share-price-sensitive issues?

I am their trusted sparring partner and critical sounding board – a consultant whose goal is to support the CEO’s success. I advise them independently, openly, and directly, especially on complex challenges such as the dynamics within and/or between the supervisory board and the management board, setting priorities in the first 365 days, or sensitive personnel and succession decisions. I help CEOs structure and prioritize their enormous workload, because clarity, continuity, and decisiveness are essential, both towards the capital market and all external and internal stakeholders. I understand the pressure and know what distinguishes successful CEOs from those who are less successful.

I share this experience, the successful strategies of top CEOs, and knowledge of typical mistakes, especially in the first 18 months, with them in a safe and confidential environment. Competence without trust is meaningless.
