Strategy · operations and profitability · e-commerce · technology
For more than 25 years he has been building and managing companies. He has launched more than 20 startups in trade, manufacturing, services and IT, and built and grown more than 30 online stores. He combines a strategic and a financial perspective – he is a finance specialist by education.

For more than 25 years I built and ran companies. I’ve seen how much good reports cost when nobody implements them. That’s why Strategy Partners is made up of practitioners who don’t stop at the presentation – we stay with the client until the changes start delivering results.
