Perform at your best – sustainably.
I support CEOs and their teams to achieve top performance sustainably.
It does not mean working long hours or sleeping less.
Quite the opposite.
It’s about creating clarity, setting the right priorities, focussing on what you can control, managing energy and stress, and balancing effort with recovery so that you can perform sustainably, without burning out.
The basis of my work is my own proprietary CLIMB framework® that I applied to my own cycling records and has been supporting executives and their teams for over 10 years to achieve sustainable top performance.
My work is based on trust, honesty and openness.
About me
I combine two backgrounds in my work: business and sports.
I am a certified executive coach (Uni St. Gallen) and worked at the World Bank, the IMF and in management consulting.
I’m also an exercise physiologist and was a competitive adventure racer and cyclist, setting two cycling records along the way.
The lessons learned from these two high-performing worlds resulted in my own method to support my clients in a personal way.
My approach: You as a person are in the center.
