For over 25 years, I have repeatedly focused on the topics of "franchising," "business acquisition/succession," and "consulting," and I have already been active as a shareholder and managing director in this environment. With IoE, the circle is now complete for me. Our offering as a point of contact for the topic of "self-employment" is truly unique.

Having been in the same situation multiple times during my previous positions in senior management, I can now relate very well to our prospects and candidates, offer them recommendations, and provide them with appropriate guidance.

Essentially, all experienced professionals and executives/managers who are no longer fully satisfied with their current professional situation or position, or who are at a crossroads in their career (professionally or personally) and want to pursue something new.

The reasons for this can vary greatly within the job environment, such as changes in management/board/shareholders, shifts in company strategy or direction, lack of involvement in decision-making, etc. Or, on the other hand, they may be more personal, such as the desire for entrepreneurial freedom, autonomy, greater flexibility, making one's own decisions, better work-life balance, independence from boards of directors/advisors/shareholders, building something of their own and creating long-term value, etc.

I would be happy to discuss in an initial conversation how, with my support, you can find the self-employment path that suits you best.

After completing my business studies, I spent 23 years in senior management roles at international corporations with country responsibilities as Director/Managing Director in the consumer goods sector. My core expertise lies in sales, marketing, and business management across distribution channels such as wholesale (B2B), retail (B2C), and digital/e-commerce (B2C).

Like many of my clients, I once faced the decision of whether to continue my corporate career or pursue self-employment as a consultant. I have now been self-employed for over 13 years as a management and business consultant and interim manager, and for 5 of those years, I was also actively involved as a franchisee/franchise master. I can fully relate to each of our clients and understand the questions, concerns, and uncertainties that occupy their minds.

With my guidance, you will find a shortcut to successful self-employment with significantly minimized risk. Whether you're starting a franchise or pursuing a business acquisition or succession, I will be by your side every step of the way, guiding you to a successful future as an entrepreneur.
