Certified systemic coach (DGSF) · 400+ coaching hours · former Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Ecosia


I know leadership from the inside.
As Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, I built product and design teams while the company grew from ten to around a hundred people. I've been coaching since 2021 and have been a certified systemic coach (DGSF) since 2025.
Most of my 400+ coaching hours were with leaders in corporations, mid-sized companies and the public sector, including development programmes at Deutsche Bahn. I care about humane leadership, meaningful work and technology that serves people and the planet.
“Philip's values-driven leadership not only contributes to Ecosia's positive impact on the world but also inspires others to follow suit.”
“Philip demonstrated a talent for identifying my individual strengths and played a pivotal role in inspiring specific actions that made a positive difference.”
“Philip's coaching starts exactly where I am right now.”
Also on foot: walk & talk
Any session can take place outdoors, by Wöhrd Lake or along the Pegnitz river. Walking side by side often makes it easier to talk.
Common questions
- Do you coach in English?
- Yes. I coach in English and German, in my room in Nuremberg, on walks and online.
- How much does coaching cost?
- The intro call costs nothing. For individuals, an hour costs €70 to €170 depending on income. If a company pays, it's from €138.
- How many sessions will I need?
- Usually four to six. I don't sell packages. After each session we decide together whether another one makes sense.
- Is coaching a kind of therapy?
- No. Coaching is for people who are generally stable and want to move forward on a specific topic. If therapy would suit you better, I'll tell you in the intro call.
It all starts with a free intro call.
- You pick a time online, and I'll call you at the booked time.
- We spend 15 to 30 minutes on your topic and on whether we're a good fit.
- If it fits, we schedule the first session.
