Independent advisory · Zürich
Clear-eyed judgement on technology, product, and organizational leadership.
For executive teams and investors in robotics, physical AI, and complex engineered products.
What I do
Executive and board advisory
Product strategy, technology direction, and the organizational design that has to carry them. Working with executive leadership and boards.
Investment due diligence
Independent assessment of company strategy, product and business model strength, technical claims, engineering maturity, and commercialization risk ahead of an investment. I assess the big picture of technology companies; the investment decision stays with you.
Speaking and executive education
Keynotes, panels, and executive programmes on robotics, physical AI, and what they demand of leadership.
Coaching for technology leaders
One-to-one work with CEOs, CPOs, CTOs, and founders growing into their roles, and growing their organizations.
