When I began my career at Engel & Völkers, the most important items in my office were a fax machine and a photocopier, which I used to manually compile property exposés.
27 years later, I’ve achieved what many dream of: starting out as a trainee, I’ve had the privilege of building a remarkable career in the real estate industry and working my way up to the top of the company. I took on responsibility early and always acted with an entrepreneurial mindset within the organization.
My personal masterpiece was building up Engel & Völkers’ international franchise business. From the first steps in Mallorca to the expansion into the United States, I helped shape the company’s trajectory by opening new markets with courage, foresight, and hard work.
In my book, I explore what true leadership is really about – and I want to encourage and empower people to write their own success stories. My credo: People don’t follow brands or companies – people follow people!
I am convinced that a high-performance corporate culture can only thrive if it is exemplified by leadership every single day. I share my experiences openly and honestly – how I dealt with crises, why corporate culture is the key to sustainable success, and how real change becomes possible through courageous leadership.
A book for everyone who leads – and for everyone who wants to write their own success story.
I stand for entrepreneurial courage, authenticity, and a clear stance. In an industry shaped by fierce competition and constant change, it has always been important to me to create lasting values. My recipe for success: trust, reliability, and the conviction that long-term success is only possible through strong collaboration. During my time at Engel & Völkers, I not only significantly expanded the international business but also established a new style of leadership – one based on equality, with people at the center.
My journey is a good example of how far you can go with initiative, perseverance, and belief in your own vision. Rigid hierarchies were never my thing – instead, I relied on entrepreneurial thinking and taking ownership within the organization. This mindset not only shaped me, but also supported Engel & Völkers on its path to becoming one of the most well-known premium brands in the real estate segment.
In my book, I share personal experiences, formative encounters, and practical insights for modern leadership. I speak openly about challenges, setbacks – and the importance of growing through them.
To me, one thing is clear: leadership is not a title, it’s a mindset. Anyone who wants to inspire people today needs a true sense of purpose, emotional intelligence, and the willingness to not only demand a strong company culture, but to actively lead by example.
My book is a guide for everyone who sees leadership not as a position, but as a responsibility – and who is ready to embrace it with passion and clarity.
