Nico is a man of contrasts and connection. A rare bird – both feet firmly on the ground and a keen eye for the bigger picture. He combines an impressive business background with deep inner development. After a successful career in international executive positions, Nico built several companies as an entrepreneur. He experienced acquisitions, sold companies, guided M&A processes – but also went bankrupt. His life seemed a success story until his body sounded a sharp alarm in early 2019. A burnout brought him to a complete standstill. It became the starting point of a profound shift: from living by willpower and reason to working with intuition, breath, and feeling. Nico delved into bodywork, breathwork, systemic work, Human Design, and corporate governance. He took courses, trained his sensitivity, and also started making music – with the handpan and the Native American Flute, which he uses intuitively during retreats. Today, Nico mentors other entrepreneurs. His deep knowledge of leadership, strategy, and transformation, combined with his energetic presence and keen eye, make him a unique guide for men searching for their fire and their truth. Nico is a classic Generator in Human Design: a builder with sustainable energy, a strong sacred response, and a profound ability to empower others. He brings lightness, humor, and wisdom. He sees what others can't yet see, asks the questions that truly resonate, and helps you remember who you are.
