Unclear Decision-Making
Slow, political decision-making, endless meetings, and confusion about who owns what.
I work with leaders who want to evolve themselves and their organizations in the age of AI — with structures, decisions, and collaboration that actually work in real life.
As organizations grow, coordination overhead explodes — more meetings, slower decisions, and less time for real customer value.
Fragmented Collaboration
Silos, friction between teams, and structures that make it hard to work across functions.
AI Without a Framework
Experiments with AI — but no clear idea how roles, processes, and leadership should adapt.
It shouldn’t be this difficult or discouraging for good people to work well together — with or without AI.
How I Help
I combine organizational design, leadership practice, and technical depth to make work simpler and more effective.
Organizational Design
Design structures that support learning, clear ownership, and cross-team collaboration — instead of getting in the way.
This includes team architecture, interfaces between units, decision paths, and how responsibilities are distributed across the organization.
Leadership Design
Shape how leadership actually works: who decides, how information flows, and how AI supports rather than replaces judgment.
We clarify leadership roles, decision routines, and collaboration formats so that leaders can act with more confidence and less noise.
My work draws on and contributes to modern approaches like unFIX, Management 3.0, and M3K — and integrates systems thinking, network theory, and complexity-informed perspectives. I use these as tools, not templates.
How We Work Together
For more than 20 years I’ve been building, leading, and fixing organizations — as a founder, product owner, computer scientist, and business unit head. I’ve seen how hard it is to create structures that support people and still deliver reliably.
Today I help leadership teams simplify leadership, strengthen collaboration, and make learning and adaptability real capabilities in their system — grounded in technical understanding, systems thinking, and hands-on experience.
1. Understand
Short call to clarify your context, key challenges, and what “better” would look like for you and your organization.
2. Design
Co-create a simple, pragmatic design for structures, leadership routines, and collaboration — tailored to your reality.
3. Start Small & Scale
Pilot with one area or leadership group, learn from it, then scale what works across teams and departments.
This can take the form of workshops, leadership offsites, ongoing coaching, or a focused advisory engagement.

Curious whether this fits your context?
Leadership is serious work — but that doesn't mean we have to take ourselves too seriously.

My Miro Apps
Not core business, but still part of who I am: I have been coding since school and still enjoy building tools that make collaboration more playful and effective.
