Typical clients

My clients are predominantly senior executives in the global hospitality, travel, and leisure industry. They hold international leadership positions and are often preparing for career transitions into more senior roles or navigating complex challenges within their current environments. Drawing on my experience as a former hotelier and my background in executive recruiting, I am able to engage with these clients as a true partner, offering a tailored perspective that addresses their unique professional needs.

Professional History

With more than 30 years of experience in the luxury hospitality sector and executive search, I have developed a deep understanding of the industry by partnering closely with senior executives, owners, and organizations throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. 

As Managing Partner and Sector Leader for Hospitality, Travel & Leisure, I lead cross-border executive searches and deliver leadership advisory projects for global hotel management companies, property owners, and investors.

Originally from Berlin, I’ve had the opportunity to live and work in nine different countries. This international exposure has fueled my passion for hospitality, fostered a genuine appreciation for cultural diversity, and reinforced my commitment to developing people within the industry.
