Where are you most likely going to be spotted on the weekend?
Hopefully, doing some kind of exercise (running, biking in summer, skiing in winter), meeting some friends and having some great food. Also, on some weekends I like to be at home to simply relax on my terrace 😊
What do you do in your free time?
I try to spend as much time as possible with my family as I am a husband and father of two kids. I also like to meet up and have a good time with our friends.
You couldn’t turn down a …
A heli-skiing trip weekend in the mountains.
What do you like to do to unwind after work?
There is nothing more relaxing than watering my plants in the garden 😂
What does purposeful work mean to you?
Working on stuff that creates a positive impact. Making a difference. Currently, we are bringing the vision of a sustainable mobility ecosystem to reality and transforming the industry to be able to deliver competitive and customer-centric solutions.
What do you think about the term 'Work-Life-Balance'?
Balance is achieved if most of the time you spend at work is fun and if work brings you a sense of satisfaction. If you are mentally and physically healthy and if you are able to reach your personal goals, you are probably living a well-balanced life. For me, "work-life balance" means to be able to switch off my phone and to be able to enjoy life without having to think about work. I am pushing my team to work in a result-driven way. If targets are met, and great results are achieved, we should bring the focus back to our non-work life instead of spending more time thinking about work. Weekends are life- and not work-time.
What are you currently challenging yourself with (work-related)?
We are constantly evolving ourselves, becoming the best consultancy for the implementation of strategies. I am currently working to innovate our digital transformation service offerings for our clients and to set up a great team that will make digital transformation happen. This will be realized by generating revenue growth with new (digital) products and services, by designing delightful customer experiences and by using digital opportunities to improve business.
A perfect working day looks like this ...
…Bringing a smile to our client’s faces! A perfect week for me consists of a couple of days with the client, one to two days in the office to work with my colleagues on strategies and concepts and one day at home to have time to make things happen…
What is the most important attribute an applicant must have to be successful in your company?
Be smart, eager to learn continuously, bring problem-solving skills to the table and most importantly to have a lot of motivation to work with people on defining strategies for a meaningful future. Have a drive for implementation and creating an impact. We call it: “Think strategically. Act pragmatically”
Which three questions do you always ask during a job interview?
Why Porsche Consulting, what do you expect to find here? What impact have you created so far, and what impact would you make on Porsche Consulting? What are your expectations from your future manager?
What are your current projects/topics (in your department) / areas of responsibility at your company?

If a really good friend was asking about where you work, how would you describe the areas that shine at your company?
Great people that are smart, dynamic and fun to work with. Great challenges and topics with many growth opportunities. Management consultancy and part of an iconic brand.
How many employees work in your department, and what does the organizational structure look like?
We are a team of 70 consultants focusing on Digital Transformation, New Mobility, Sales and Sustainability topics. My core team that focuses on digital and customer topics consists of 10 consultants.
What does good leadership mean to you?
Start with a dream, be bold, be a rebel. Enable your team to grow – each individually and together as a team. Challenge the status quo to enable continuous improvement on the way you work.
How would you describe your management style?
Collaborative team worker. Provide a vision - set goals - agile implementation.
