Wealth without borders.
Freedom without compromise.

I help high-net-worth individuals legally reduce their taxes, protect their assets, and regain personal sovereignty through international relocation and cross-border structuring.

Born near the tri-border region of Germany, Switzerland, and France, I was raised to think beyond borders from the start. At 22, I joined PwC in Zurich — green but hungry — and spent four formative years immersed in intense project work and 80-hour weeks. In 2003, an unexpected offer from Allianz Insurance brought me to London almost overnight. It was meant to be temporary. It became the foundation of my career.

After five years with Allianz and nearly a decade in the corporate world, I left big business behind and founded my own advisory firm in the City of London. That decision unlocked the freedom I had long sought — both for myself and, increasingly, for my clients.

Over the next ten years, I lived and worked from the US, Ireland, and Malta, advising clients remotely long before the word “remote” became mainstream. What began as a lifestyle experiment turned into a blueprint for a new kind of global living — one built on legal clarity, personal autonomy, and strategic foresight.

Strategic Advisory for Sovereign Clients

Today, my firm is dedicated to serving high-net-worth individuals from the DACH region and beyond — entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, and family offices seeking to regain control over their wealth and their lives.

We provide high-level, cross-border tax strategies involving multiple jurisdictions, working closely with a global network of local experts and law firms to deliver fully compliant, tailor-made solutions.

Our work spans issues such as:

• Exit tax and strategic relocation planning, including upcoming reforms in Germany

• Controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules and safeguarding against deemed income attribution

• “Stateless” business income structuring and permanent establishment risk mitigation

• ATAD, DAC6, CRS, and other EU anti-abuse and disclosure rules affecting mobile entrepreneurs

• Special tax regimes for new residents (e.g. UK non-dom, Italy impatriati, Spanish Beckham Law, Portugal NHR)

• International holding structures with treaty leverage and asset protection in mind

• Tax treaty residency planning — especially for clients who cannot meet 183-day thresholds

• Pre-immigration tax structuring for the U.S., including LLCs, trusts, and inbound investment vehicles

• Post-Brexit strategy for UK nationals abroad and EU citizens with legacy UK exposure

• Pension taxation and social security alignment, especially under German treaties

• Crypto tax planning and new exemptions, including developments in Southeast Asia

• Citizenship/residency-by-investment compliance, especially where CRS and FATCA reporting intersect

Real Connections

I regularly organize exclusive seminars, strategy retreats, and client trips in and to London, Zurich, Texas, Zanzibar, Davao, Dubai, or the Balkans. These formats are far more than conventional workshops – they are immersive experiences that bring together expert knowledge and the real-world conditions on the ground.

Because the most important decisions in life aren’t made alone in front of a screen – they happen through conversation, in exchange with others, face to face. Especially in today’s world, where many like-minded people feel increasingly isolated or even marginalized because of their views, the chance to meet others who share their values and goals is more important than ever.

Whether it's gathered around a campfire on a ranch in Texas or at a private dinner by the Indian Ocean, these encounters create something lasting: trust, clarity, and often deep personal connections that go far beyond technical advice or tax strategy.

Media & Investments

I’m the founder of Perspektive Ausland, a German-language consulting and content platform dedicated to tax-optimized emigration, international asset structuring, and sovereign living for high-net-worth individuals from the DACH region. The Perspektive Ausland Podcast and our YouTube channel are now widely regarded as trusted sources for those seeking clarity and direction in an increasingly regulated world.

The podcast is produced by my London-based production company, Soho Podcasts, where we develop a broad spectrum of high-quality audio and video formats – from documentaries on global mobility and personal freedom, to mystery topics, UFO podcasts, and film discussions such as Factual America.

Soho Podcasts stands for intelligent, story-driven content – whether geopolitical, cultural, or pop-cultural – always with a sharp eye on what truly moves people and shapes their choices.

In the documentary space, I founded Alamo Pictures, a production company focused on films that explore American life, politics, and the cultural contradictions of the United States.

Outside of consulting and media, I’m also active in regenerative agriculture and food startups through Ashfount Investments in Austin, Texas.

Personal

I left Germany in 2000 and have since lived with my family in six different countries: Switzerland, England, the United States, Malta, Ireland, and Scotland.

Today, I divide my time between Austin, Texas and London – two very different places that each embody freedom and creative energy in their own way.

I’m the father of ten children – seven adult children from my first marriage, and three younger children who live with me and my partner.

At heart, I’m a rancher. The ranches I built in Texas and New Mexico were lost in the aftermath of my 2013 divorce, but the land, the animals, and the idea of a self-sufficient life have never let go of me. In the medium term, I plan to acquire a new ranching operation in the U.S.

I am a Catholic. My faith shapes the way I think – especially when it comes to personal responsibility, freedom, and grace.

My personal motto: “Life is short and fleeting. One shot. Make it count.”
