Professional background

I have worked in very different environments.

In production. In research. In international sales. In IT. In project and programme management. In leadership roles. And ultimately in organisational development.

These stations share one recurring experience: good ideas rarely fail because of missing competence. They fail because organisations are more complex than organisational charts suggest.

Time and again, I have seen initiatives stall because of interdependencies that were not immediately visible, conflicting expectations, or missing first steps.

Magnetic Fields was created to make exactly these dynamics visible and discussable. Not as a patent method. Not as a standardised consulting product. But as a perspective and a way of working.

Experience across projects, programmes and organisations

For more than twenty years, I have been responsible for projects and programmes across almost all sectors and organisational scales, in both private and public settings, from medium-sized companies to large corporates.

  • Chemicals and production
  • Insurance
  • Banking
  • Hospitals and healthcare
  • Energy utilities
  • Automotive suppliers
  • Public-sector organisations, from municipalities and public-law bodies to state-level government

For more than ten of those years, I have worked as a trainer and consultant in project and programme steering, risk management, agile collaboration and service management.

During that time, I have also led teams in IT, project management and customer service.

Artificial intelligence

Making AI useful and responsible

Another focus of my work is the responsible use of artificial intelligence in organisations. I develop and test AI agents, tools and prototypes, combining technical understanding with my experience in processes, governance and organisational change.

What I focus on

  • Organisational development
  • Project and programme management
  • Risk management
  • Leadership and collaboration
  • Agile ways of working
  • Service management
  • Complex change initiatives
  • Artificial intelligence
  • AI agents
  • AI governance
  • Development and testing of AI prototypes
  • Interdependencies between people, processes, technologies and decisions

How I work

I do not start with a finished solution. I first look at which dynamics shape a situation, which expectations collide, and which assumptions have not yet been tested.

This leads to a first manageable step, not to downplay complexity, but to learn under real conditions and create a better basis for the next decision.

How Magnetic Fields works

Let us start a conversation

An initial conversation is not about selling a ready-made method. It is about understanding your concern and identifying which question should be addressed first.
