Mentoring services as your booster

Mentoring is a journey of achieving harmony across personal well-being, family dynamics, professional aspirations, and societal contributions. It is about uncovering one’s true passions and thriving in their pursuit.

As a founding member of the Warwick Business School (WBS) Global Mentoring Program since 2008, I have mentored executives, board members, global talents, and young entrepreneurs who built successful startups across technology, sustainability, energy, health, and more. My expertise and services in mentorship, guided by the "Balance of Life Matrix", enables me to be both a mentor and a trusted sounding board for personal growth.


Elite career mentoring: CV mastery and interview excellence

Mentoring support involves co-creating a tailored CV through reflection and iteration. Acting as a sounding board, the mentor provides targeted suggestions to enhance and refine profiles. The Executive Summary serves as a concise elevator pitch—defining one’s leadership signature in just five words. Mock-up interviews further prepare mentees for success. BTW, result: 100% of mentees secured exciting new roles.


Empowering startup success: Mentorship for future innovators

„An entrepreneur is often defined as one who starts his own, new and small business“. „But not every small business is entrepreneurial or represents entrepreneurship“, states the late Peter F. Drucker, a management top thinker. So what are the key success factors for a start-up to grow and thrive? 

Which mistakes should be avoided? Why is the sales function as important as product innovation? In what markets and customer segments should a business focus upon? How can value be created and extracted from an investment? These are some of the critical questions that need to be answered. 

I can contribute with my extensive international business and multi-cultural team experience in mentoring young talents and entrepreneurs.

Supporting from the startup foundation process to company management and governance in multiple business sectors such as Technology (incl. Blockchain & AI), Sustainability, Smart Energy, Health, Mobility, Financial Services, Virtual Reality, B2X, etc). 

Mentoring services offer: I can act as your personal Advisor, Sounding Board and Speaking Partner. In the end, entrepreneurship requires entrepreneurial strategy and management. Team spirit, culture and behaviour are key ingredients for a startup to grow and thrive.

Laurent Lebouille, A.P. Moller, Maersk: Otto and I were connected through the Mentor long Program at Warwick Business School, where I was fortunate enough to have been paired with him as mentee. Otto mentored me through my time as MBA student, but more importantly during a time where I was going through significant career and personal choices. He supported by offering his advice and reflections, but more so he encouraged me to explore my own considerations and motivations more. He also pushed me to be insistent and purposeful in my pursuits, rather than leaving things to chance. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it hadn’t been for his persistent support. I can heartily recommend Otto as a mentor and a great many other roles where his life experience and expertise can make the difference.

Abir Hossain, EIT Manufacturing: Otto is a great mentor. I say this with full conviction, since I have been privileged to have limited yet the most impactful scope of getting a bit of his mentorship. My sincere gratitude to him and all the best wishes for the future success.

Colin Tan, Firecroft: Otto was my business mentor from Warwick Business School (WBS). As my mentor he was excellent! Through many searching questions and advice, he has helped me plan my next career moves and understanding the opportunities available. However Otto was more than just a mentor to me. He was my coach and advisor. He was an essential part of my job search process - helping with CV writing, interview preparation and providing advice when I had multiple job offers. He was always available for me when I needed him. I had several mentors and coaches during my career and I think Otto was the best. Through my interactions with Otto, his leadership capabilities and strategic thinking always came through. I would strongly recommend Otto to any companies.

Edwin Blanchard, CIPD: Otto was kind enough to take time out of his hectic international schedule to mentor me over a 2 year period. He brings an incisive & well-rounded business perspective, that helps rapidly filter those activities that make a difference. Otto has actively helped me explore my career direction balanced by personal milestones. During that time, he shared his broad, practical insights about career direction, role planning, people management, personal brand & challenging me mentally to ‘step up’ to senior roles.   I have enjoyed tapping into his astonishing experience and believe his help has contributed to accelerating my career.

Aditya Dular, Baxter: As a Lecturer in "Internationalisation Strategy", Dr. Frommelt adopted both a passionate and innovative learning approach. He created an atmosphere of high engagement and mutual respect. His outstanding tutor leadership qualities, enthusiasm and interpersonal skills generated a classroom environment where "active learning" took place. He also triggered challenging discussions and debates that stretched my mental mindset. I was on the International Student Exchange Programme at the University of Applied Sciences, in Vienna, Austria during 2010 when Dr. Frommelt was my Lecturer for the Module Internationalisation Strategy (ECTS 3.0). Besides being an exceptional lecturer with vast business experience, Dr. Frommelt is an insightful mentor.

Marc Pharaoh, Zurich Re: I had the great privilege of being mentored by Otto, as part of a Warwick University Alumni initiative (08/09) and we have remained in contact ever since. Otto was so incredible open, encouraging, challenging and friendly, that I can not imagine a more naturally gifted mentor, nor individual better suited to such a role. I am very much in favour of such initiatives and sincerely hope that Otto can maintain his involvement in this one, or something similar, in order for others to benefit as I have.
