My Story

The Room With No Windows

A windowless meeting room. Four days without natural light. Thirty years of meaningful work — and a growing suspicion that the life I was living wasn't quite the one I'd intended. That realisation started everything that became this site.

📖 My Journey

1985–
2023

35 years of SAP consulting

Finance, Controlling, S/4HANA — energy, pharma, telco. Project wins and hard lessons. Always looking for the deeper "why".

2024

Sabbatical & deliberate reinvention

A conscious step out of the hamster wheel — into books, reflection, movement. Marcus Aurelius meets Martin Seligman.

2025

MEA & first platform experiments

Graduated from Modern Elder Academy. Built and tested two platforms. Learned: wrong channel, wrong audience. Right lessons.

2026

wellbeing-now.com

One platform. One mission: honest, personal content for Modern Elders 50+. Do good — and share the journey.

🧭 My Approach

🔍

Analyse → Solve → Share

I investigate problems thoroughly, develop my own solution, and share it honestly — failures included. No guru posturing, no easy answers.

🤝

Doing good as the goal

This platform is not a sales funnel. It's my contribution to a growing community of Modern Elders who seek depth, not noise.

📚

Lifelong learner

Stoicism, PERMAH, longevity research — I'm a fellow traveller, not an expert. What I discover, I share. Without filters.

🎓

MEA Alumni

Proud graduate of the Modern Elder Academy. MEA taught me that the second half of life is not a descent — it's a different kind of ascent.
