About

When I’m not writing books, working with leaders and teams from various corporate and non-profit organizations or speaking at events, I am a Professor at the Lucerne School of Business and a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Management, Technology and Economics at ETH Zurich (where I was the founding Managing Director of the Swiss School of Public Governance from 2016-2020 and launched a program for future global public sector leaders).

I am a regular keynote speaker and podcast guest, primarily in continental Europe, the UK and the US, but occasionally further afield as well.

I have a Ph.D. in history from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, USA, an Executive MBA from IE Business School, Spain and higher education teacher’s training from Harvard University, USA and ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

I don’t tweet or post on Instagram (where do people find the time?) but if I did, it would probably be about my fruitless quest to bake the perfect sour-dough bread, my obsession with all things mountain (running, biking, skiing and climbing) and the various shenanigans of my three kids.
