Consulting for SMEs in Zurich

A sparring partner for management teams who want to align their company clearly and strengthen their leadership – with business expertise and psychological depth.

Consulting for SMEs in Zurich

Small and medium-sized enterprises face the same questions as large corporations – with fewer staff functions, less time and closer to the people involved. In my consulting for SMEs in Zurich, I work directly with management: on strategy and direction, on leadership structures, on succession and change processes, and on how a team stays effective and healthy under pressure.

My background bridges both sides. Fifteen years of international leadership responsibility in the finance industry, a degree in economics (lic. oec. HSG) and the CFA taught me to read numbers, markets and organisations. Studying psychology and training as a psychotherapist FSP showed me what really moves people in times of change – and where good plans fail.

As a sparring partner I am independent, discreet and on equal terms. We work in clearly defined mandates: a management review, support through a change process, clarification of roles and responsibilities, or regular reflection for owners. A first conversation shows where the greatest leverage lies.

Typical concerns

Entrepreneurs and management teams come to me when …

  • an important decision is due: Growth, a new strategy or an investment that you want to think through with someone outside the company.
  • the company has grown but its structures have not: Roles, responsibilities and leadership need to be redefined.
  • there is friction in management or the team: You want to recognise and resolve conflicts earlier, before they cost energy and people.
  • a change has to be implemented: A reorganisation or change of direction that employees should support.
  • succession becomes an issue: You are wondering how and when to hand over leadership.

How I work

I see myself as a sparring partner to entrepreneurs and management teams – with an independent outside view, strategic understanding and psychological depth of focus.

I help to order thoughts, test different points of view and recognise the problem behind the problem. In doing so I look closely: at leadership, structures, collaboration, tensions and at dynamics that have long been felt in everyday work but do not yet have a name.

My work is structured in its goal and agile in its process. Sometimes a single workshop, facilitation in a demanding situation or a few sparring sessions is what is needed. In other cases I accompany a management team over several years.

It is precisely this long-term collaboration that can be particularly effective: I keep the outside view while knowing the history, the personalities and the development of the team. Patterns, progress and recurring tensions become visible early. This creates continuity without becoming blind to one’s own organisation.

For me the value does not lie in ready-made concepts from outside. I create clarity, broaden perspectives, hold up the mirror and help to make decisions more consciously, recognise conflicts earlier and carry change together.

I work directly, individually and close to practice – with experience, psychological understanding and, where it helps, with humour.
