I am an entrepreneur, business game designer and university lecturer. My formal education includes a master in finance and accounting from University of St. Gallen (HSG) and a certification as coach for collaborative communication.

At the University of Applied Sciences Lucerne I am heading the program 'Digital Customer Experience (DCX)' (https://hslu.ch/dcx) and the course 'Digital Business Strategies & Models'. At the University of Applied Sciences of the Grison, I am co-heading the program 'Leading Sustainable Business' (https://www.fhgr.ch/en/study-programmes/masters-study-programmes/business-and-information-science/sustainable-business-development/).

My own company runs the https://smart-up.work platform. I am co-organizer of the annual Swiss Lean Agile Scrum Conference (https://leanagilescrum.ch/) and co-founder and partner of the consultant network https://Ocendrop.net

My passion is to apply Game Based Design (feel free to invite me to elaborate on what that is :-) for leadership, organizational design, and marketing. Typical contexts are community building, large group interventions & event design, and navigating complexity.

I am also member of the coaching and mentoring pool of the University of St. Gallen.
