I started in accounting 18 years ago — not because it was the easy path, but because I wanted to understand how businesses truly work from the ground up. That foundation gives me something most CFOs don't have: the ability to look at any set of numbers, immediately assess what's real and what's missing, and make sure management is working with an accurate picture before any decision is taken.
Over the years I moved through controlling, financial management, and into CFO-level roles across industries that couldn't be more different from each other — travel tech, e-commerce, Web3, media, and funds management. That breadth is what makes my approach different. I don't bring a sector-specific playbook. I bring pattern recognition built across 18 years and multiple industries.
Today I combine that experience with hands-on AI and automation implementation. Not as a trend — but because I've seen what it does to a finance team's capacity and output when you remove the manual work and let people focus on what actually matters: analysis, decisions, and growth. As part of that stack, I use Claude by Anthropic as a recurring analytical partner — for drafting financial narratives, stress-testing assumptions, and accelerating the kind of structured thinking that used to take days.
I'm based in Hamburg, Germany, and work with companies across the DACH region and beyond — in English, Spanish, and German.
