“Is our digital transformation really moving the business?”
An honest, independent view of where you stand, what to stop, and which decisions to take next – without technical jargon or internal politics.
Independent advisor to C-level, investors & boards
When technology costs more than it delivers.
I help executives get failing IT projects back on track, integrate or separate IT during M&A, and remove cost and complexity that create no value – in plain business language, not slides.

Who I work with
One advisor. Four very different questions.
Every executive looks at IT from a different angle. I answer the question you are actually asking.
“Why does IT cost this much – and what do we get for it?”
Transparency on spend, duplicate tools and roles that no longer add value. A leaner IT organization with clear accountability for results.
“Why don't our systems, teams and processes work together?”
Stabilized ERP and MES rollouts, less friction between business and IT, and operations that run on systems instead of workarounds.
“Will the technology hold up through the deal?”
Fast, low-risk IT integration after an acquisition (PMI) and clean carve-outs of divested units – with operations running from day one.
Typical situations
You'll recognise at least one of these.
Book a conversation- A complex system such as ERP or MES is stuck – or has already failed.
- Two or more IT organizations or system landscapes need to become one (PMI).
- A divested unit needs its own IT – quickly, cleanly and without disruption.
- IT costs must go down while speed and quality go up.
- Digital transformation should create real business value, not just activity.
- Systems, teams and processes don't work together and create constant friction.
How I help
Three areas. One goal: measurable business impact.
C-level, investor & board advisory
Independent advice on digital transformation, IT & data strategy and IT leadership – so you can master complex change and build a technology-driven organization.
M&A, integration & carve-outs
IT separation, integration and technology transition during mergers, acquisitions and divestitures – fast, secure and with operational continuity.
Performance & cost optimization
Lower IT costs and higher efficiency by finding the real bottlenecks, simplifying the landscape and aligning IT fully with business needs.
How we work together
Clarity first. Then decisions. Then delivery.
- 1Diagnose
A short, focused assessment: what is really happening, where the money goes, and what is blocking progress.
- 2Decide
A clear recommendation with options, trade-offs and consequences – prepared for the executive or board table.
- 3Deliver
Hands-on support until the result is visible: stabilized projects, integrated systems, lower costs.
