I like exploring - with my brain and my feet. You can talk nerdy to me.
I tinker, and build useful things - from manging construction projects to building well-functioning teams, engaging science stories or even chocolate tasting experiences.
Also, I try to move the world - in the right direction (yes, there is such a thing) .
I manage projects and teams in the physical world
I work for greentech. We’re a small and nimble group of fine people building solar power plants. Because you’re all hungry for low-carbon energy.
and do science communication
I help organisations activate their communities on issues that matter (think: sustainability or science) by developing engaging, memorable and pragmatic learning experiences.
I’m starting a project called scientists in their natural habitat.

before that
I spent many years at interesting companies, including the two leaders in wind energy: Vestas and Siemens Gamesa.
I’ve managed teams of bright people. My last employee satisfaction score was 92%. Some say that’s too high. I disagree.
I worked at Dialogue Social Enterprise. They’re quite awesome. They create transformative learning experiences that shift perspectives on people and their disabilities.
I’ve founded a company to make low-carbon travel more attractive before the whole topic was a trend, and one to help new managers become great bosses.
I studied mechanical engineering at ISAE-ENSMA, management at EM Lyon and Science Engagement at the Learning Planet Institute.
and also
I’m a father, an introvert (read Quiet), a Hamburger (No, not that. I live in Hamburg), a reader of non-fiction, a walker (sometimes I walk a lot) and an ICCTT Level 2 certified chocolate taster.
