Before I became a coach, I was for a long time exactly what I now help others navigate: an employee, a manager, and a person within the system.
Before founding Lanz Consulting, I worked at Roche Diagnostics for ten years—in various technical and leadership roles, where I was responsible for international projects and led cross-location teams in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain.
I know the challenges of leadership from my own experience: shaping change, reconciling differing interests, making decisions amid uncertainty, and rallying people around shared goals. Today, I support companies, nonprofit organizations, and leadership teams with precisely these issues.

My Journey in Six Stages
International leadership experience meets systemic organizational development
Six years of retail banking
While advising Swiss and British private clients, I helped people navigate important life and financial decisions. I quickly realized that behind every technical question there are always personal motivations, hopes, and uncertainties.
Between Excellence, Science, and Global Networks
As an event manager, working with Nobel laureates, scientists, and sponsors from around the world has helped me develop a keen sense of different perspectives. The best results often emerge at the intersections—where different disciplines come together.
Human Resources Development within the Group
At Roche, I was responsible for the development of employees and leaders—from designing strategic development programs to facilitating change and learning processes. This experience now forms an important foundation for my work as a coach and organizational developer.
Management responsibilities – international
25 employees. Three locations in Germany, Spain, and Switzerland. In German and English.
I’ve built teams from “individual contributors,” guided them through restructuring, and helped people grow into roles that are now more significant than the one I held back then.
400 kilometers—and a decision
From the Grossglockner to the sea. When you walk, you think differently. When I saw the Adriatic Sea after weeks away, I had long since made the decision to go into business for myself. I just had to let myself do it.
Self-employed. Working for yourself. With integrity.
Why does change succeed in some teams—but not in others? This question led me to systemic organizational development. Today, I support leaders, teams, and organizations—using everything I’ve learned from the first five chapters. Not despite the fact that I know both sides, but precisely because of it.
“We turn words into action.”

Michèle Heinecke – My Virtual Assistant
Without Michèle, I might be half as organized and twice as stressed. She takes the pressure off me—so I can do what I do best.
Voices & Thoughts
This is where I organize my thoughts, share recommendations, and every now and then write something longer than a LinkedIn post.

What I'm listening to
Podcasts that consistently make me smarter—recommended for a reason, not just out of politeness.
