I grew up in a steel village in southern Luxembourg. No softness allowed. My refuge was the forest, my books, and my dog.

After having studied economics, I spent thirty years in finance, real estate, and communication. Moved through each world without being captured by any of them.

What compelled me throughout was never the product or the transaction. It was always the message. How it lands. What it does to the audience.

That distance turned out to be the most useful thing I have.

Pattern recognition across systems. The capacity to see what insiders miss. The willingness to say the simple thing that everyone is carefully avoiding.

The Fence Climber is the book that grows from all of it.

I choose my clients carefully. They tend to do the same.
