About me
Thinking in between.
I do not see the world in either-or terms. Rational thinking and intuitive perception, technology and humanity, science and spirituality are not opposites that I have to choose between.
I am interested in what becomes visible and possible when we learn to use multiple ways of thinking, knowing, and perceiving at the same time.
My path
Studying economics strongly shaped the way I think. I am fascinated by how complex human and societal relationships can be analyzed and described in models—and equally by where those models reach their limits.
Professionally, I have worked with digitalization and emerging technologies for many years, in varied contexts spanning science, strategy, communication, and practical implementation.
Since 2019, I have also explored energy work, intuition, and forms of perception that cannot always be explained rationally. What began as a personal exploration gradually became an ability I also use in my work with other people.
What shapes my thinking
The more powerful our technologies become, the more interesting I find the question of what makes us human. We can expand our rational capabilities through technology while also taking more seriously what people perceive, feel, and know even when they cannot fully explain it.
The approaches that have influenced my thinking come from different disciplines, yet they share a common core for me: broadening our view of connections and not limiting human possibilities to what is already known.
These include the social market economy and Friedrich August von Hayek; Douglas Engelbart’s idea of augmenting human thinking and collaboration through technology; Design Thinking; Jean Gebser’s description of integral consciousness; Gabor Maté’s perspective on human conditioning; and Thorwald Dethlefsen’s exploration of polarity, illness, and consciousness.
