Dr. Markus Müllner

Strategy Advisor & Leadership Coach

Who I am

A strategy advisor and leadership coach with St. Gallen roots and an entrepreneurial track record. I work with executive boards, divisional heads and leaders of mid-sized and internationally active companies.

What I do

I help my clients gain strategic clarity. And I make sure that executive teams and leaders can actually deliver on their plans. They move forward with courage and inspiration. Stronger and more confident.

How I work

As a sparring partner on equal footing. Straight talk instead of slide battles. I work in a conceptually clear and systematic way – but pragmatic and effective in implementation. And I stay with it – until strategy, leadership and culture create real impact in everyday business.
