Building a business and growing revenue is not easy.
Especially if you are new to the job, have stepped into a bigger role, or are now managing a team for the first time.

Over the past six years, I have worked with start-ups and scale-ups in SaaS and tech as a fractional sales consultant – helping them increase revenue and build sustainable businesses.

In parallel, I have coached leaders to gain clarity, grow revenue, and lead with purpose and authenticity.

What sets my approach apart?
I do not just stay at the surface – I go deep.

As a qualified therapist with certifications in EQ-i 2.0, NLP, and Mindfulness, I combine high empathy, lived experience, a deep understanding of the human psyche with over 20 years of experience in leadership and personal development.

That gives me the edge to help you bring out your best – and become the leader you truly want to be.

I am based in London and Brighton, and I work globally.
Through a blend of sales leadership coaching, executive coaching, and therapy, I help people become more effective, focused, and confident.

We build new habits, shift your leadership style, and improve your clarity, emotional intelligence, and productivity – so you can accomplish more.

Together, we sharpen strategy, build stronger teams, and drive performance – without burnout.
Together, we create the life and leadership you want.

No more nagging void.
No more feeling lost.

This is why I founded Obnatus – which means growing in Latin.
Because that is what this work is all about.

With several decades of sales and leadership experience, Volker has held VP leadership and C-level Chief Revenue Officer positions with technology and SaaS companies. This included leading teams of 60+ people and managing revenue in excess of $100m.

He brings a rare mix of experience and training – from an MBA to Therapy and a Master Practitioner in NLP, Executive Coaching, Mindfulness, Mentoring, and Emotional Intelligence. This unique combination is something you do not come across often. It has helped countless leaders gain clarity, overcoming limiting beliefs, find purpose, build confidence, and achieve real results; balancing work and life. Leaders who work with him lead with more ease, efficiency and authenticity.

Effectively adapting to change and upheaval has been a constant in his life – whether that’s moving from one culture to another (from Germany, to the US, to the UK), being natural curious and observant, changing jobs in an ever changing industry, or developing his coaching and leadership skills. Learning has been a constant, with two podcasts to his name, he has interviewed over 200 people what it means to be successful and a man in their midlife. You start to see people as the same but different – humans are all individuals, across cultures and walks of life.

In the last 5 years alone, Volker has coached over 1,000 hours, including leaders at PepsiCo, Sky, JCDecaux, Ogilvy, Boots, Eni, General Electric, DHL, Cognism, Diligent, Alstom, Keyloop and many more.

With his experience of high-pressured sales environments, juggling family and leadership responsibilities, he has all the tools to help you get over the hurdles life often throws at us. See more of his experience in the About section.
