Psychologist
Founder of the Psychological Private Office
My professional roots lie in the securities business. After my banking apprenticeship, I spent several years looking after major and business clients and advising on securities. There I learnt how decisions are made when not all the cards are on the table. Uncertainty in the markets cannot be eliminated, but its effects can be limited and hedged: through diversification and staying power. What remained was the realisation of how much psychology there is in the workings of the stock market, and a conviction that shapes my work to this day: ambiguities that cannot be resolved call for particular expertise and all the greater clarity in everything that surrounds them.
I wanted to understand psychology itself. While still in the securities department, I bought a textbook and read it in every spare moment, during breaks, on the way home, at weekends; Handelsblatt and Börsen-Zeitung, Germany's leading business and financial dailies, had acquired a rival. That copy is now visibly worn and still holds a place of honour on my bookshelf.
My studies took me to Bonn, then a centre of general psychology. This branch of the discipline studies how perception, memory, thinking and decision-making work in all human beings. It is the basis on which I still rely today.
For almost three decades I have held conversations with people who bear responsibility, from the very beginning also with people in exposed positions. I have often seen someone seek expert advice late or not at all, because they did not know how far discretion would extend. For me, this meant not merely promising discretion but setting out its structure publicly and transparently, before anyone says a first word. It is the foundation of my work and not open to negotiation.
The Psychological Private Office is the institutional form of my stance and my way of working.
I hold conversations in German, English and Spanish.
