My work as an author

Why am I writing?

In well over 30 years of management experience, I have learned that behind every number and every process there are people with their own unique stories. This power of observation, which I use as a consultant and coach, now flows into my literary work. For me, writing is the logical consequence of working with people – it's always about emotions, decisions and the moments that can change our lives forever and have a significant impact on them. With my novels, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream.
