Born in Upper Styria (Austrian Steel Hub) it was unavoidable for me to get first experiences in the metal business with industry giants like Voestalpine and Bohler. Already during my high school years, I was working at a local pipe mill as blue-collar worker. Later, after a year in the sales at a plate mill, I worked in a small trading company whilst starting my mechanical engineering studies in parallel. In 2006, I got the opportunity to set up the Austrian branch of an international acting Dutch trading group and to run it as general manager. We started with 3 employees in my private house, but business grew fast and so the company expanded. In 2008 the company generated revenue greater than 10M EUR and had 20 employees already. At that time, I was also promoted to take over management responsibility for the German facility as well, so I moved to Düsseldorf area and ran both the Austrian and the German branch with 50 employees in total. I decided to leave this group in 2013 and launched a new business division within an American global acting steel trading corporation. The so formed global division for power and downstream applications generated revenues of around 60M EUR and operated predominantly out of Austria, Germany, France and Singapore. For more than 20 years, I have been working on the supply and project management of international projects for plant engineering and construction. Most of my key clients are world market leaders in their fields. Within the power generation and downstream business, I was able to build global personal reputation for the supply of bespoke high-pressure piping and components for high temp applications as well as for my project management and leadership skills. To enhance my legal known-how related to international business affairs, I have completed my first university degree program in business law. Equipped with know-how and experience that I could gain in the past 20 years by working with and learning from great people, by learning from my own mistakes and with a great network of global business partners and friends from the energy and steel industry I decided to start my own business to support my customers by sharing my market experience with them. To complete my legal education I graduated from a LLM program at the Law School of the University of Vienna. In my master thesis I  exeminated the use of  CISG (UN Trade Law) in plant engineering and construction contracts.
