Books
Some questions return across projects, roles, and years. Writing a book has been my way of staying with them long enough for something to shift — in the thinking, and sometimes in myself.

Louise
What if someone who understands every scent in the world can no longer recognise the fragrance of happiness?
Louise Meyer is a gifted perfumer in Florence, known for creating fragrances that capture memory — sunlit Tuscan fields, fleeting moments of love, emotions that resist language. Her work has always spoken where she remained silent.
After years of solitude, a letter from the past unsettles the careful life she has built. Nicolas, the man who once betrayed her trust, asks her to recreate the scent of the happiest day they shared — a day that also marked the end of everything between them.
At the same time, Louise meets Matteo, a Tuscan rose grower who has lost his sense of smell but not his capacity for empathy. As their connection deepens, Louise finds herself suspended between memory and possibility, between what shaped her and what might still be allowed to grow.
Set between Paris and Tuscany, Louise is a quiet novel about healing, memory, and the rediscovery of love. It explores how absence can sharpen feeling, how loss reshapes perception, and how some traces remain long after they seem to have disappeared.

Love’s Infinite Garden
What if love was not something you searched for — but something that quietly found you?
Nika Petrova is an art restorer in Prague, drawn to beauty and unsettled by sensations she cannot fully explain. When her hands touch ancient objects, fragments of memory and meaning seem to surface. As her inner world begins to shift, she follows a growing pull toward Egypt — not in search of answers, but of something unnamed.
Jonny Müller lives in Zurich, outwardly successful, inwardly restless. The unresolved disappearance of his father in Cairo and a growing sense of emotional distance from his own life push him toward a journey east, away from control and certainty.
When their paths cross on the shores of the Red Sea, their connection unfolds gradually, shaped by intuition rather than logic. What begins as recognition deepens into transformation, as both are drawn into questions of identity, destiny, and belonging that challenge their understanding of reality.
Love’s Infinite Garden is a novel about inner awakening, transformation, and love that unfolds beyond intention. It is written for readers drawn to meaning, mystery, and the quiet sense that some encounters change more than a single life.

Being Strategic
Strategy-Specific Project Management in Times of Crisis
This book emerged from work with organisations operating under crisis conditions, where familiar planning logic no longer applied.
Rather than separating strategy from execution, it explores how strategic thinking becomes embedded in project decisions when time, resources, and certainty are constrained. The focus is not on tools, but on judgment — on how people prioritise, coordinate, and decide when failure is no longer theoretical.
It is a book about execution under pressure, and about why strategy only matters if it survives contact with reality.

How these books connect
Looking back, these books feel less like a collection and more like a path.
Each one was written at a different moment, in response to different questions. And yet, they are connected by the same tension: how people think, decide, and act when certainty is unavailable and responsibility cannot be abstracted away.
Over time, my focus moved away from models and structures and toward something more fragile — attention, judgment, and the experience of carrying responsibility. Many of the themes that shape my work today — uncertainty, pressure, leadership, and the limits of control — were first tested in these longer formats.
I did not write these books to settle arguments or provide answers.
I wrote them because some questions kept returning, quietly insisting on being understood rather than resolved.
