First understand. Then change.
We support executives in securing and shaping the future of their companies, in particular in established industrial and technology companies facing market changes, intense competition and high innovation pressure.
Before taking action, we clarify where the decisive levers lie and how changes will affect the company as a whole. Sustainable improvement does not come from many isolated optimisations, but from the right interventions in the right places.
Especially when conventional answers are no longer sufficient, but responsibility remains.

Dr. Thomas Hott
My extensive experience in the two very different worlds – large‒scale research and business – with their often diametrically opposed approaches and values, has taught me to think unconventionally and to identify causes and solutions while others are still debating the symptoms.
These are capabilities I apply with genuine enthusiasm for the benefit of my clients.
What makes my professional background so distinctive is that I spent over 18 years in senior roles within majotrresearch organisations – including CERN in Geneva and DESY in Hamburg – and have now been working for 14 years in the private sector, specifically in management and technology consulting across Engineering, Life Sciences and IT.
