About

With all these different outlets on the web it is always good to have one space in which one can collect all information. Although this means yet another web site to look after. ;)

If you want to read more of my stuff I use google plus for longer texts, twitter and facebook to different degrees – and yes I do post about this social media stuff. :)

By trade I am a consultant with a focus on what I call digital craftsmanship. A friend of mine put it a bit differently: “You are turning Social Media bullshit into reality” , meaning I am working with clients on how to use these tools properly (setup, workflows, procedures, etc) and do analysis and assessments. From execution to coaching and mentoring, everything can be discussed.

My customers are companies and individuals, from Social Media Managers to startups. With a background of 15 years in the corporate world and a deep technical knowledge in both tech and business, I can work with any size of business, understanding the needs of small businesses as much as the requirements of bigger corporation.

With a ‘Silicon Valley mindset but European at heart” I love to help bridge the gap into the international world.

I live in Berlin, Germany and enjoy the vibrant uniqueness of this city.

Currently I am looking for:

  • use cases for applying digital craftsmanship aka tactics
  • startups from Berlin (and partly Europe) who have jobs and news to share

A more official version if you need it
