Medical Doctor and Lecturer

Four Key Points:

1️⃣ Global Roots

I was born in Germany into an American-Persian Baha’i family. Speaking three languages at once was the norm. I've lived in Europe, the USA, and Africa, and seen 25+ countries.

I studied IB at a United World College, whose mission is to be a “force to unite people, nations, and cultures for peace.”

The above compel an approach of questioning assumptions, listening deeply, and seeking robust, collaborative solutions.

2️⃣ Doctor First

After IB, I toured 16+ European countries for a year with a German-based dance group; my dream was to become a multi-media producer. I became a medical doctor instead.

Apart from medical know-how, this discipline drove me to understand: 

(1) Patterns, systems, and insights from large volumes of data quickly
(2) People’s psychology, motivations, and drives dramatically improve team delivery
(3) That ‘life-and-death’ (LAD) is serious, but rare; life is mostly not LAD, so take moments under pressure to think clearly

3️⃣ Top-Tier Consulting

I’ve spent two decades in top-tier consulting, with McKinsey, Spencer Stuart, and otherwise.

I’ve held Executive, Board, and Advisory roles where broad perspectives were essential. 

One example: advising the CEO/Exco of a Financial Institution with a $10bn asset base and 800 professionals. Over two years, this client's profits doubled, and its funding pipeline grew by 147% to $1bn+ per year.  

I’ve seen the outsized value of structured, fact-driven, analytical, and disciplined approaches to incremental and innovative projects, pipelines, and problems.

4️⃣ Problems I Help You Solve

(1) I’ve spent 20,000+ hours over two decades processing leadership learnings and questions, which I post regularly. Ring the bell on my profile to be notified of these.

(2) Join “The Impactful Executive,” newsletter, where we address the three pains CEO face weekly.

(3) I help Boards and 'G3' Executives (CEOs, CHROs, CFOs) unlock value through: 

* Analytical Thinking (value drivers, model building) & Strategic Clarity (high-impact decisions)
* Execution Discipline (incremental and innovation-focused program management and value-building)
* Top Team Sciences (Exco engagement, effectiveness, efficiency, and senior team dynamics) 
* Executive Talent & Soundboarding (executive search global best practice, leadership advisory)

(4) I can hold a few Board and Exco advisory roles globally (esp. high-tech, high-growth).
