Master your leadership, compose better teams.

Team fixer

As a concert pianist and producer of multimedia productions, I witnessed firsthand how the music industry underwent a metamorphosis: from large and cumbersome symphony orchestras to modern, small, and flexible ensembles characterized by cross-functionality and agility. These core qualities are indispensable for organizations in today's new market.

Composers also became curious about other forms of collaboration and used graphic scores to give musicians more freedom. This development offers valuable lessons for the business world, where employees desire more decision-making space, while you, like the composer, also want to remain the leader.

Since 2013, I have been assisting CxOs and entrepreneurs in their transformation process. Together, we compose future-proof organizations made up of flexible, high-performance teams.
