PROFILE
Building on many years of experience in permanent and interim executive roles, I specialize in restructurings, turnarounds, and the delivery of complex strategic projects. In 2022, I founded KATCO to focus on these activities. You can find recent examples of my work here.
Before founding KATCO, I led for several years the creation and development of a dynamic international start-up (Europe/Africa) in the Fintech sector including a financial platform for underserved populations.
Prior to that, I was CFO and CEO of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), a multinational global company, for more than thirteen years. I played a key role in FIFA's turnaround from over-indebtedness to sustainable profitability. During this time, I also ensured the implementation of a large number of complex projects, particularly in the areas of corporate governance, major events, acquisitions and finance.
Before joining FIFA, I worked as a management consultant for McKinsey & Company in Switzerland, supporting various companies in the implementation of strategic projects and growth initiatives.
