Passionate transformation catalyser
Born in 1977 (333 ppm), father of two teenage boys (he/him)
My short biography:
- In 1995, I knew that I wanted to do my civilian service in Germany as a paramedic. Looking back, I feel that this was regenerative and self-organized teamwork at its best.
- Since 2003 I have been living in Central Switzerland after having completed a Bachelor’s degree in Media and Communication Management at Lake Constance.
- In 2009 and with the start of my career as a dadpreneur, I completed the Executive Master Business Engineering (Change Management) at the University of St. Gallen.
- In 2017, after more than 14 years of transformative project experience in Swiss start-up and SME companies, I founded my sole proprietorship wickedprojects (since 2020 MAGICPROJECTS).
- Since 2023, the services have been further expanded with MAGICVISUALS and MAGICPERSONALITIES (as well as the transformation to a personal brand).
