Sven is a seasoned executive coach with over 25 years of international experience and a unique expertise in managing growth, acquisitions, and restructurings. He held several positions in different parts of the aviation ecosystem, such as airlines (Lufthansa, Saudia, Etihad), alliance management companies (Star Alliance) and airports (Dubai Airports). The realization that a corporate transformation has limited success without a strong element of personal transformation of its leaders, has sparked him to pursue a parallel career in corporate strategy and executive coaching.

Fluent in six languages and enriched by diverse intercultural experiences, Sven bridges cultural gaps effectively. His ability to navigate high-stress environments, manage dynamic corporate scenarios, and catalyze leadership effectiveness has made him a preferred choice for executives across various industries.

 

Having completed an INSEAD Executive MBA (Dean’s list) and a Certificate in Professional Co-Active Coaching, Sven blends analytical thinking, strategic decision-making and the human elements into his approach. He excels in providing insightful, pragmatic guidance, enabling executives to navigate their professional landscape with confidence and effectiveness.

 

Personally, he has a strong interest in performing arts such as theatre and music. He blends creative techniques sourced from performing arts into his coaching methodology.
