About
I started out as a make-up artist. In 1996 I founded my first agency. My path has not been straight, and that is exactly my strength today.
Since then I have built brands, led campaigns, made media and developed products of my own. More than 30 years of experience in communication, marketing and branding now meet current technical know-how.
I build what I recommend. That is why oQueo develops its own software products, and why I write books you can apply in everyday work.
My motto: Create structure, deliver impact.
