About me
Create clarity. Make decisions. Get things done.
As an advisor, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur, I help leaders and teams create clarity where chaos reigns. With a background in technology, marketing, and management, I bring a rare combination: strategic thinking paired with the ability to name the elephant in the room. I live with my family in the mountains of the Portuguese Algarve and work from there with clients in the DACH region. Far enough to have perspective. Close enough to be there when it counts.

"Most problems aren't complicated, just unclear. My job is clarity."
— Reimar Kosack
I come in when organisations get stuck in complexity, avoid conflict, and no one has the courage to say the obvious. On stages as a keynote speaker. In small circles as a sparring partner for executives and advisory boards. In workshop formats with teams that want to deliver instead of debate.
Direct. Honest. With the courage to say the obvious. Advisory at the right level — no slide deck, but conversations in which no one has to lie any more. Three truths suffice. The rest is fertile ground for workshops that decide nothing.
Because AI adoption is not a tool topic, but a question of stance. Trust culture replaces presence culture. Workflow means workflow because work flows. No buzzwords, but concrete process chains that make friction visible.
The company
A consultancy for people and organisations that want to move forward.
Strategic accompaniment. Retainer model for continuous support when you need a sparring partner who stays in the loop.
1:1 sparring for founders. Because lonely decisions get better when someone pushes back.
"Making Things Happen" — for teams tired of just talking. A format for leadership circles and boards that need a decision.
Talks that put uncomfortable truths on the table. When your organisation realises the next slide is no longer landing.
History
Founded while studying at Bauhaus-University Weimar. First step into self-employment, at the intersection of media, markets and technology.
Two decades in consulting, technology and marketing — from startups to corporates. Always the same insight: the best solutions come from clarity, not complexity.
The move to Portugal. Focus: advisory that actually helps — not just keeps people busy. Remote first, with locations in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Zurich.
Building the client portfolio. Developing our own methods (Shito). First keynotes on #DigitaleDenke and AI in the German-speaking market.
Launch of extrahirn.com. Expansion of the keynote practice with a clear focus on AI integration at board level — preparing for the agentic organisation.
Partnerships
Platform for boards and executives who want to integrate AI as a "second brain" into their daily thinking and decision-making. Co-initiator and active partner.

If you notice that the next slide no longer helps, it is a good moment to write.
