Coaching Dortmund.
Executive sparring for the new Ruhr metropolis.
From steel to software. Ex-DAX expertise for insurance companies, tech & SMEs. Honest. Direct. Effective. Dortmund has weathered the toughest transformation and faces its future. Where coal was once mined, codes and insurance policies are now created.
Real work instead of a facade
In Dortmund, it's the handshake that counts. Here, you don't impress anyone with academic „chichi“, but only with measurable success.
We are your support during structural change:
Growing pains: We support tech companies (such as those on Lake Phoenix) that scale from start-ups to corporations and suddenly need structures.
Insurance DNA: We know the political hurdles in large insurance groups and know how to move tankers.
Westphalian mentality: We appreciate the direct approach. With us, you don't get „sandwich feedback“, but the unvarnished truth that will help you move forward.
