”Given my background and experience, I am at home in many markets: a generalist with specialisms and I help students with their theses from various directions ranging from Integrated Safety, Commercial Economics, Human Resources (HR), MBA, Marketing to communication and other related studies. My strengths lie in the field of problem analysis, creating a connection between problem definition and research, analysis of (research) results, knowledge of theories and models and their applicability. Applying a common thread and a clear structure gives students something to hold on to. The best compliment I can receive from a student is: ‘you made me think’. When I see the lights come on in the eyes of ‘my’ students, it is good, they become enthusiastic and motivated for their own research. Great! All in all, my thesis supervision is concrete and focused on both content and coaching. I am happy to support you, both online and on location.”
