🌟 Are you ready to turn your LinkedIn profile into a client magnet? Let me show you how. 🌟

Hello! I'm Patrick, and with over two decades of corporate career and sales experience, I've learned a thing or two about making connections that count. 

My journey has taken me around the globe, working with diverse teams to not only meet but exceed sales goals through strategic LinkedIn engagement.

In 2020, I leaped into the entrepreneurial world, creating my own business from scratch—a decision that has been nothing short of exhilarating! 

It’s been a rollercoaster of learning, growth, and, most importantly, empowering others like you to achieve greatness.

🎯 Mission: 
My goal is simple but ambitious—empower you and your team to master LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. I’m passionate about transforming your online presence into a powerful tool for collaboration, brand enhancement, and sales success. Let's make your LinkedIn work as hard as you do!

♟️ Approach: 
Say goodbye to outdated theories and hello to dynamic, hands-on learning. My workshops and training sessions are anything but cookie-cutter. They're designed to be engaging, practical, and tailored to fit into your busy lifestyle, whether online or offline. We'll focus on what really matters—real results, real fast.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Stepping away from the corporate world was my biggest gamble. The challenge of building a consistent pipeline of leads and opportunities seemed daunting at first. But here’s the twist—I never stopped posting, engaging, or innovating. I developed a Lead System that not only worked for me but has since been successfully implemented by my clients, ranging from global corporates to ambitious solopreneurs.

Why Work With Me?
If you're tired of the grind and ready to make your LinkedIn presence effortlessly bring in more clients, I'm your guy. Whether you're looking to enhance your personal brand, increase visibility, or drive more sales, I'm here to make it happen with authenticity and fun. 

Let’s unlock your full potential together. 

Ready to start this journey with me? 🚀

P.S. I am based in Switzerland, and I don’t bite 😁 we can communicate in 🇨🇭🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇬🇧🇫🇷

As a Board Member, Head of the Compensation and Audit Committee at ACORN International, I oversee the financial reporting and governance of the company, ensuring compliance with IFRS and NYSE standards. I also advise on strategic decisions, risk management, and performance improvement, drawing on my 20+ years of experience as a senior CFO and General Manager in the logistics, healthcare, and consumer goods sectors.

I have a proven track record of driving growth and profitability, managing supply chain and digital transformation, and developing people and talent across diverse markets and cultures. I have led various executive roles in Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, working with leading companies such as DACHSER and DKSH. I am passionate about creating value, innovation, and positive change for my clients, partners, and stakeholders. I hold an MBA and a Management Development Certificate from IMD Business School, and a Socialsalesification Pro Certification from Adesso Digital GmbH Switzerland.

❓ Have we become so focused on buying solutions that we’ve forgotten to practice the habits that prevent the problems?

In leadership, in business, and in life, we often gravitate toward what is convenient, marketed, and immediately available.

But as this visual reminds us, what truly works is often simple, quiet, and overlooked.

On the left:
🌿 Lifestyle changes: Discipline, consistency, daily habits, choosing well-being…
Free, but requiring commitment.

On the right:
💊 Medicines: Quick fixes, reactive measures, costly interventions…
Expensive, but effortless.

In organisations, I see a similar pattern:
Instead of cultivating strong cultures, clear communication, and preventive governance frameworks, many leaders invest heavily in firefighting tools, consultants, and crisis response.

But real leadership,especially across markets and cultures, begins long before a crisis.

It begins with habits, not headlines.
With principles, not promotions.
With clarity, not speed.

After leading teams across Europe, Africa, and APAC, one lesson remains universal:

👉 Sustainable results are built on the small daily behaviours that no one sees, not the big public decisions everyone talks about.

A resilient organization, much like a healthy body, thrives not because of what we purchase…
…but because of what we practice.

So perhaps the more important question is:
✨ Are we investing in what works, or simply buying what sells?

🌟 What difficult choice have you been avoiding, even though you know it could change everything? 🌟

Leadership is, at its core, a continuous series of choices.

Some are strategic.
Some are personal.
Some are uncomfortable.
But all of them shape the trajectory of our careers, our organisations, and our lives.

This quote captures an essential truth:

“Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made.
If you want a different result, make a different choice.”

Across decades of leading teams and organisations around the world, I’ve witnessed one pattern consistently:

➡️ Transformation rarely begins with circumstances. It begins with a decision.
➡️ Growth comes from choosing differently, not wishing differently.
➡️ And progress requires courage more than competence.

In boardrooms, we speak often about strategy, risk, innovation, agility.

But behind every strategic shift is a leader willing to choose:

✔ a new direction
✔ a new mindset
✔ a new standard
✔ a new way of showing up

The toughest choices are the ones that stretch us beyond what is familiar, yet they are also the ones that unlock our next level of impact.

So today, a gentle reminder:

✨ If you want a different outcome, you must be willing to make a different choice.
✨ Your future is built not by chance, but by conscious, courageous decisions.

What decision, however small, can you make today that your future self will thank you for? 💭✨

❓ Have you ever realised how often the biggest battles you fight… are the ones happening inside your own mind?

In leadership, we often prepare for external challenges like volatile markets, shifting stakeholder expectations, geopolitical risks, operational pressures.

But the most dangerous adversary is often far closer: Our own thoughts.

As leaders, we carry much responsibilities with people, performance, strategy, governance.

But we too easily forget:
👉 We cannot lead with clarity if our mind is in chaos.
👉 We cannot make sound decisions if we’re consumed by fear.
👉 We cannot inspire others if we are overwhelmed by what we cannot control.

Across cultures, I’ve noticed one universal pattern among resilient leaders:

They focus energy on what they can influence and release what they cannot.

Not because they’re indifferent, but because they understand that mental clarity is a strategic asset.

Here are three practices I’ve seen make the greatest difference:

🌿 1. Guard your mental space like a precious resource.
Not every thought deserves your energy. Not every problem deserves your peace.

🎯 2. Separate noise from signal.
Focus on what moves the needle. Let go of what merely drains you.

🤝 3. Build a circle that challenges you, not consumes you.
The right advisors, colleagues, and board members help you see reality without amplifying fear.

Leadership is demanding, but it should not destroy you.
Once the mind turns against itself, everything else begins to unravel.

So let me ask you:
👉 What are you holding onto today that is outside your control, and is it time to let it go?

💭 When was the last time you realized you’ve outgrown a place, a role, or even a mindset but stayed anyway?

As leaders, we often shrink ourselves to maintain harmony, uphold expectations, or fit into environments that no longer align with who we are becoming.

This image is a powerful reminder:
Growth requires space, and sometimes the most courageous leadership act is refusing to stay small.

🌱 In boardrooms, global teams, and cross-cultural environments, I’ve seen this pattern far too often:

Talented people dimming their potential to avoid discomfort.
Innovators silencing ideas because “this is how we’ve always done it.”
Leaders staying in roles long after their learning curve has flattened.

But here’s the truth all seasoned leaders eventually learn:
When you outgrow a space, it limits you more than it protects you.

Instead of shrinking, consider:
✨ Where are you being called to expand?
✨ What new challenges are waiting outside the dome?
✨ Which limiting beliefs or environments are no longer worthy of your potential?

🌟 When was the last time you realised the true value of a moment… only after it became a memory? 🌟

In leadership and in life, we often rush from one milestone to the next.

Deadlines. Decisions. Deliverables.
We optimise for speed and outcomes, not presence.

But as the years pass, it becomes clear:

➡️ The most meaningful moments were often quiet.
➡️ The most impactful conversations were unscheduled.
➡️ The most valuable people were those who stood beside us long before the results appeared.

In boardrooms and global teams, I’ve learned that leadership is not only measured in strategy, performance, or results. It is just as much about the moments we create with others:

✔ a word of encouragement
✔ a gesture of trust
✔ a shared challenge
✔ a moment of humanity amid pressure

These moments don’t appear on performance dashboards, but they shape culture, loyalty, and legacy more than we realise.

And one day, they become the stories people remember about us.

So today, a gentle reminder:

✨ Slow down.
✨ Notice the moments happening right now.
✨ Value the people by your side before they become part of your memories.

Which moment in your leadership journey do you now recognise was more valuable than you realised at the time? 💭💛
