With over 25 years of hands-on experience as a Production Manager, I have developed an in-depth understanding of every relevant aspect of production. Together with a trusted network of selected specialists, I plan and manage internationally renowned large-scale events, award-winning corporate events, sports and music productions, as well as digital and TV productions for global brands, broadcasters, associations, and agencies.
Proven expertise in large-scale events and projects with complex content, logistical, and safety-related requirements.

Selected Clients
Only those who continuously think in new ways and evolve can break outdated processes and create genuine excitement.
The best ideas emerge in a climate of freedom and respect – that’s why I work with an independent team where we operate as equals – open, direct, and clear in our communication. We expect the same from our clients. Only through sincere and collegial collaboration can we achieve peak performance.
Absolute transparency and uncompromising honesty have always been the foundation of everything I do – professionally and personally.
“We must say what we think. We must do what we say.
And we must be what we do.”
Alfred Herrhausen
I primarily work with existing clients or by recommendation. In principle, I respond to any serious inquiry promptly.
