With over 30 years in international IT — including nearly 12 years leading IBM's European Research Laboratory — I founded RedFins GmbH in 2015 to bring that experience directly to you.
I consult on Innovation Management and strategies for Digital Transformation, and work as an executive coach supporting personal and organisational change.

For nearly 12 years I led the European Research Laboratory of IBM. I draw on deep experience managing research portfolios and transferring technology from prototype into product or service.

Having led up to 500 highly qualified world-class researchers in an enterprise of over 300,000 employees, I bring extensive expertise in team leadership and change management. Since founding RedFins in 2015, I have coached executives through personal transitions and organisational change programmes.
I collaborate with Dr. Nadig und Partner and serve on the RISE Lab Board — a Management Innovation Lab at the University of St. Gallen.
For over 20 years I have focused on digital transformation — from foundational technologies such as Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, and Big Data, through to today's AI and Generative AI wave. I help organisations apply these technologies in new business models and adapt their structure for lasting success in a continuously evolving digital landscape.
