Testimonials
Strategic. Digital.
Uli has the entrepreneurial drive, strategic knowledge and vision to accompany the management of a digital company. He has in-depth experience in post-merger integration and has been a key contributor to realizing sustainable growth in revenue and profit. His professional skills go far beyond those of a CFO, especially in the areas of business strategy and digital marketing.
Committed. Reliable.
As an advisory board member, Uli led us to navigate the development of a business plan and investment readiness with a detailed overlook of our financial modelling for our growth strategy. He is highly committed and reliable in whatever he commits to. He will follow up with routine check-ins to ensure that, as a business leader, you are on track to implement your strategy. I highly recommend Uli to business leaders who want solutions to their business challenges and are driven to carry them through. Uli is your best bet.
More than a CFO
Uli is a CFO, a really good one. One who effortlessly masters the elevator from the very top (at the strategic level) to the very bottom (in the engine room). Who can design a strategy and at the same time implement budget planning modeling himself. There aren't many of those around. And he's not just that. His keyboard extends far beyond that of a financial expert. Deeply versed in digital marketing, digital business model development and advertising marketing, among other things, attest to his broad interests. Why does he have expertise there? Because he is a doer, an entrepreneur with a healthy dose of curiosity. And a fine person with a heart to boot.
Empathic. Individual.
Ulrich was supporting us on finance planning and budgeting. We developed complete financial planning tools with him and upskilled the finance team with tools that have since helped us with resource allocation and planning to guide financial expenditure in our projects. The entire management is now sensitized on financial planning and monitoring. We enjoyed working with Ulrich and he has since taken up to be a friend of the company, constantly checking on me. I feel I already have a business coach without looking for one.
