Competencies
I have a degree in business administration (FH), real estate economist (ebs), restaurant specialist and state-certified biological-technical assistant (BTA). I am also a food lifestyle editor and (co-)author of various specialist books and articles. I am also a member of the International Food Design Society, IMMOEBS e.V. and the Deutscher Fachjournalistenverband (DFJV e.V.).
I have an exceptional mix of skills through education, practical and teaching experience in the following topics: Innovation, reinvention, transformation, economics, real estate economics, entrepreneurship, start-ups, strategic marketing, design, information technology, biology/biotechnology, genetics, behavioral psychology, tourism and international hospitality management (hotel and restaurant administration).
I have gained my extensive project experience at international consulting organizations such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Dr. Kaub Consult, PKF Hotelexperts and Accenture. I work closely with client project teams depending on the requirements of the respective projects. Customers, suppliers and other specialists, experts and key partners can be integrated into the project team on request. This enables the full-service offering of my strategy consultancy REINVENTIS and at the same time guarantees optimal results.
In 2006, I founded the strategy consultancy REINVENTIS(www.reinventis.com) in Munich with the aim of offering a special form of consulting services for investors, managers and teams based on strategic analysis, concept and implementation consulting, which not only develops visions but also realizes them together - from the idea to marketing.
The collaboration can take place analogously at a chosen location or virtually and thus independent of time and location. From 2009 to 2019, I was a lecturer at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, the University of Applied Management Erding and the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship, Munich, on the topics of business start-ups, intrapreneurship, design thinking, value proposition design, business model innovation, multisensory interactions, sense hacking, innovation, quality and technology management at the faculties of economics, tourism, hotel and restaurant administration and design.
In 2010, I initiated the industry solution RESTAURANTMARKETING(www.restaurantmarketing.de). In 2021, I established the platform for face-to-face and online formats for my strategy consultancy REINVENTIS: THE SCHOOL OF INNOVATION(www.theschoolofinnovation.de).

It goes without saying that I have also signed an anti-sect declaration.
