Executive Leadership & Transformation
Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR)
You have many ideas but no clear priority? You need an entrepreneur, not just a consultant — backed by 25 years of product development, platforms and entrepreneurship.
New business ideas emerge every day. Yet only a few become successful products, platforms or companies. The biggest challenge is rarely the idea itself — more often, what is missing is market validation, clear priorities or the ability to turn a vision consistently into a functioning business model.
As an Entrepreneur in Residence, I support companies, investors, venture studios and founding teams in building new digital products, platforms and business models — with a pragmatic hands-on mindset and strong execution capability.

01
Develop Business Models
Analyze new market opportunities and translate them into viable business models.
02
Validate Products
Test ideas, gather user feedback and assess market potential.
03
Build Digital Products
Build digital products and platforms from the first idea to market entry.
04
Go-to-Market & Growth
Position products successfully, launch them into the market and accelerate growth.

What Companies Ask Me First
I only have a rough idea — is that enough to get started?
Yes. The first step is to sharpen the idea and test it against real user needs before resources are invested in execution.
How quickly can we create a first testable version?
Depending on complexity, usually within a few weeks — the goal is always to get real market feedback as early as possible.
How is this different from traditional management consulting?
Consulting delivers analyses and recommendations. As an Entrepreneur in Residence, I take operational responsibility and help build.
How is the collaboration organized?
From a focused validation phase to continuous operational responsibility as an entrepreneur on a temporary basis — tailored to the maturity of the initiative.
