Mandates & Board Context

I take on mandates and advisory board roles across a range of different corporate and industry contexts.

• Vice President E-Commerce, BEVH (active)
• Board Advisory Roles (Bertelsmann, OTTO Group – past roles)
• Former Executive Roles (Managing Director Cimpress Investments NV; Managing Director DRUCK.AT; Vice President Commerce Europe, Cimpress / Vistaprint)

Key Areas of Focus

Engaged at board level in situations where strategic decisions cannot be delegated and clarity as well as direction have to be created across multiple stakeholders with diverging priorities.

• Scaling digital businesses beyond founder or pioneer logic (Thomann, Flyeralarm, Cimpress)
• Building and rolling out core technology platforms under live P&L responsibility (Cimpress)
• Operating and aligning multiple managing directors across markets and entities (Cimpress, Printbrothers)
