Your Most Important Initiative Is Stalled.
I Make It Productive in 6 Months.
More than just diagnoses, I deliver turnarounds. I treat your stalled initiative like my own company and I don't leave until it's working.
The 6-Month Turnaround
At VW Group, the FEP platform was stalled for 3+ years. I made it productive in 6 months.
Why Engineering Initiatives Stall
It's rarely a technical problem. It's an ownership problem.
The Ownership Vacuum
No one owns the outcome. Everyone owns a piece. When something is everyone's responsibility, it's no one's responsibility. The initiative drifts.
Political Gridlock
Competing interests, protected turf, no forcing function. Technical decisions become political negotiations. Progress stops.
Technical Debt Spiral
Quick fixes compound. The codebase becomes unmaintainable. The team spends 100% of their time managing complexity instead of delivering value.
The Turnaround Protocol
I don't just advise. I take ownership.
- 1
Phase 1: Diagnostic (2 Weeks)
I identify why it's really stalled (Technical, Political, Organizational). We define exactly what 'Productive' looks like.
- 2
Phase 2: Execution (3-6 Months)
I take CEO-level ownership of the initiative. I clear the blockers. I manage the politics. I don't leave until it works.
Comparison
Why hire me over a 'Big 4' Firm?
The difference isn't just price. It's the difference between a generalist slide-deck and a specialist surgical intervention.

Founder & Principal Consultant
"I take things that are stuck and make them work. At VW Group, I inherited a platform everyone had given up on and made it productive in 6 months — eliminating 12M EUR in annual costs. At Bosch, I broke a 2-year political gridlock across 19 companies. Now I do the same for organizations that need outcomes, not slides."
Track Record
VW Group FEP 3.0 - From 3+ Years Stalled to Productive in 6 Months
Director, Simulation Software
The Stall
Platform Officially Released, Not Actually Working. FEP 3.0 had been in development for over 3 years. The official release had happened, but no one was using it. The organization had given up.
The Fix
CEO-Level Ownership. I took over, mapped the internal market, identified specific customer pain, and restructured the work matrix. I pushed the organization out of idleness.
Outcomes
- Productive state achieved in 6 months
- Full replacement of legacy version 2.0
- 12M EUR annual costs eliminated
- Team leaders promoted to report to VPs
"Proved that stalled initiatives are ownership problems, not technical problems."
