A man who
knows the way.

For a long time I thought I had everything under control. A good career, my own company, structure in everything. I was good at building systems — for companies, for projects, for myself. But somewhere, deep beneath that structure, I knew I was not truly living. I was functioning.
“In November 2023, everything stopped. An acute aortic dissection. Twelve hours of open-heart surgery. Six months of rehabilitation.”
That moment forced me to stop. Not temporarily — truly. To look at what remains when you strip away all the performance. Who am I when I do not deliver, do not perform, do not prove?
That question brought me to breathwork, to systemic constellations, to men's work. To the discovery that growth is not a solo journey — that men need each other to see who they truly are.
I combine two worlds that seem far apart: the world of digital transformation, strategy and systems, and the world of inner work, awareness and personal growth. That combination is not coincidental — it is exactly what the men I guide need.
Project Leonidas was not born as a business. It was born as an answer to a question I had to ask myself. And for the men who hear the same question knocking — but do not yet know how to answer it.
What I stand for
Principles, not slogans
Responsibility
Your life is your responsibility. Not half — fully. I do not believe in victimhood, but in the capacity of every man to choose his path.
Honesty above comfort
I say what I see. No smooth answers, no false reassurance. What you need is the truth — even when it chafes.
Inner strength
Real strength does not come from outside. It comes from knowing who you are. From a grounded centre from which you act, lead and love.
Brotherhood
Men grow through men. Not in competition — in connection. I believe in the power of a circle of men who dare to tell each other the truth.
Depth above surface
I do not do quick fixes. The work I guide goes to the core. That requires courage — and yields something that lasts.
Integration
Inner work that stops at the workshop door is useless. I help men integrate what they learn into their daily life, work and relationships.
How I work
The methods
I do not work with one method. Every man is different, every question requires a different entry point. What I use are proven methods I have lived through myself — not only studied.
The combination of breathwork, systemic work and polarity work means we reach the core quickly. Not by talking about the problem, but by making it tangible and transforming it.
Everything I guide, I have gone through myself. That is not marketing language — it is the foundation of the trust men place in the work.
