I know how to be a consultant as well as a partner or the customer, because I have been in all those roles myself.

I grew a consulting business from scratch within Whirlpool Corporation. I started three consulting businesses on my own: SOLO in Germany, SarJay in the USA, SarJay in Germany. I have been a consultant for as long as I have been an employee of a Fortune 500 company, sometimes in parallel.

I know when to shut up, when to speak out, and when to drive an agenda aggressively as a consultant. I know how to work with the CEO as a trusted advisor as well as with a line manager as his project resource.
