If the following paragraphs don’t do it for you, get in touch with me and we’ll arrange a call (or a coffee, if possible).

Thanks for the nice shot you took while eating pizza, Zak Greant!

Born and raised in a small, uninspiring harbour town in northern Germany, I moved to Berlin to become a journalist. Instead, I studied playwriting at the Berlin University of the Arts and, after graduating and a one-year writing scholarship, founded a production company in 2008.

Being a freelance writer in Berlin is not particularly lucrative, which is why I took on side jobs as a copywriter. I quickly realised that my skills as a writer and dramaturge could be transferred perfectly to the business world. In 2014, I quit theatre altogether and have worked primarily as a communications consultant ever since.

In 2019, I founded a consulting agency in the field of digitalisation and urban development with a business partner. Since 2018, I have been a regular guest lecturer at the ZHDK, where I support students in the areas of conceptual design, personal branding and marketing.

I have been living in Basel, Switzerland, since 2013, where I have started a family and obtained dual citizenship. I am the father of a daughter, a passionate cook, craftsman, gardener and a dedicated mental health advocate.

Things I would like to do but can ‘t fit in anymore:

  • finally learn Italian, the third language in Switzerland
  • play in a band
  • own a dog
  • make more short films with my child
  • learn to draw better
