About
Thirty years of building businesses in Southeast Asia.
I’m German, and Malaysia has been home since 1995. Over thirty years I’ve founded three companies, taken one public, sold one to its management and one to a Japanese group.
Today I help founders and business owners think through growth, fundraising, regional expansion, acquisitions and exits. I work as an advisor, coach or simply a sounding board: we exchange ideas, look at the alternatives and decide together on the best way forward. You and your interests stay at the centre.
I’m also a limited partner in Accelerating Asia, a mentor and investor at NEXEA, and an angel investor in more than 20 startups across the region.
