Strategy is only half the job.
I build sales operations, open networks, and develop the systems that carry both. Almost a decade in sales, leadership, and finance — plus the software I taught myself and wrote myself. From analysis to running operation, with no handover to anyone else.
Everything here I did myself. Pull out whatever matches your problem.

Investment & insurance advice
In financial matters I act strictly as a referrer and make introductions to experienced specialists. I do not provide investment, insurance, or legal advice.
I don't hold that licence — deliberately

I don't advise here — I introduce. What I'm not allowed to do is on the tag.

Next.js
All built by me. One I can't show yet — that's the yellow tag.
Learned sales, built a company, added software.
My foundation is sales: B2B at Trend:Research, training junior advisers at Debeka, my own expat segment as a self-employed adviser during my MLP years, career coaching at Talentagent. On that I founded Pengoro Financial Advisory, ran it for two years, and built my first own sales team there. In parallel I taught myself software development — not as a hobby, but because the same sentence comes up in every sales project: "what we'd really need for this is a tool." Today I do both inside one mandate.
Why independent? Because the interesting problems rarely fit one role. Sales buildout that won't scale without a system behind it. A network that only holds when someone knows it rather than administers it. Project-based, without institutional ties, with a clear start and a clear end.
Studied
M.A. Cultural Studies, University of Vechta · B.A. Philosophy & Religious Studies, University of Jena
Two humanities degrees are more useful for this work than they sound: both are training in understanding an unfamiliar system of thought quickly and then explaining it back clearly. That is exactly the job in week one of every mandate.
