I am a seasoned senior executive, advisor, non-executive director, and investor. In 1999, I moved into the payments industry, where I have held for 20 years various executive positions and was deeply involved in shaping the German and European payments landscape, working for companies like GZS, First Data, Easycash, Ogone and Concardis. In my various roles, I was driving transformation, buy and build strategies, and international expansions in Europe, US, Middle East, and Asia. I also carried out successful value creation plans under private equity ownership from start to exit on three occasions.
Since 2018, I have been involved in various payment, fintech and tech companies – start-ups and established players – as NED and/or investor (e.g. n26.com, geidea.net, donut.app, aks-anker.de, leondrino.com, silverflow.co, getpliant.com, yolda.com). I am also engaged as a senior advisor with Roland Berger Consultancy.
