About me
With more than 30 years’ experience in fast-moving consumer goods and business-to-business globally, I bring practical expertise in differentiating businesses, helping them stand out and serving customers better.My customer thinking was developed at Unilever and Colgate, building strong brands with clear, long-term choices about where to focus and invest profitably, balanced with short-term growth. I helped enrich our special relationships with pets at Hill’s Pet Nutrition and delivered on my purpose of making lives easier and healthier.
Taking this learning to the business sector with its complex challenges, feeling connected and valued by a company was no less important at BMI Group. I help teams translate technical features into benefits most relevant to their target customers, supporting their business and creating higher loyalty.
Transforming processes for better collaboration, mentoring and coaching for higher capabilities and explaining the WHY to align everybody behind common goals, are my key to achieving sustainable business growth.
Fun facts
6 country moves with our rescue cats Mika & Kimi, cat-safe outdoors was priority No. 1. All survived safely, even though tornados, hurricanes, extreme temperatures, coyotes, barred owls and bald eagles were not on our risk checklist.Those moves also taught me cultural and practical perspective: six hours driving to my family in Germany crosses four countries; six hours in Kansas and we hadn’t even left the state.
