ORGANIZATIONAL ARCHITECT


The structure of a company determines which strategies can be successfully carried out.

 

Only when structures, processes and culture are aligned does the necessary adaptability emerge to thrive in a dynamic world.

About me


My Journey


Some questions stay with us throughout our lives. One of my central questions was: How can companies function better?

 

From an early age, I was fascinated by organizations - their dynamics, contradictions, complexity, and their untapped potential.

 

I quickly realized that theory alone isn’t enough. Strategies that seem convincing on paper often fail in reality. Organizations follow their own laws. Yet, I was convinced: Organizations can be designed with purpose. This conviction became the driving force of my career.


Experiences that shaped my perspective

My journey began in Milan, where I gained my first experience in building HR structures. A key moment was my participation in a company-wide Lean Management training - an experience that fundamentally changed my perspective on value creation and efficiency.

 

After three years, I returned to my hometown, Bruneck, to deepen my expertise. There, I completed training in Business Process Management (BPM). I learned how to analyze, document, and specifically optimize business processes - often using surprisingly simple yet highly effective tools.

 

International projects took me to the UK, Sweden, and China, where I experienced firsthand how differently companies deal with change and how essential it is to challenge the status quo. Change is challenging, but it is the key to long-term success.

After 13 years in the automotive industry, I found myself at another turning point. As CHRO for an international group of companies, I was given new strategic opportunities. But I realized: My true passion lies elsewhere. I didn’t just want to drive change within a company - I wanted to support companies in their fundamental transformation.

 

Today: Designing Future-Fit Organizations

Today I work with visionary leaders of global corporations as well as with owners of smaller businesses.

 

My goal: Making your organization future-fit.

My mission: Designing future-fit organizations.

For me, this means working with my clients to develop tailored, context-dependent solutions that empower companies to:

  • react flexibly to changes,
  • establish a culture of learning and development,
  • deal with complexity and
  • cope with an increasing rate of change in the long term.

 

Because I have learned one thing over the years: successful companies are those that see change as an opportunity – and actively shape it.


With my international certification as an Organization Design Professional (CODP®), I am part of a worldwide network of recognized experts in organizational design.
