Vita
I graduated in economics in Bonn and got to know Struktur Management Partner as an intern in 1996. Subsequently, I started working regularly on various turnaround, growth and market research projects as a freelancer. Even then, I was fascinated by the value-creating and value-preserving sense of our work, and so turnarounds became my profession when I took on a permanent position at Struktur Management Partner; since 2005 I have been a partner and shareholder of our company. I mainly support family businesses with sales in the three-digit million range and more complex structures; almost exclusively on site and in very close cooperation with management and shareholders.
