The first call
Know thefeeling?
You are sitting in front of a mountain of challenges and there is no clear way through. You have thought it all out, turned over every idea, and the answer still will not come. Most of the time you stand there alone, because everyone around you is fighting their own battle. Or worse: they are all looking at you as though you were the answer to everything.
You have discussed strategy. You have explored solutions. It all died in meetings, without a single real result.
What was missing? A partner you can trust. Someone who actually understands what you are going through. Someone who does not just tell you what to do, but walks the whole way with you. Side by side.
We sat inyour chair.
We do not just know that place. We have been there ourselves, with the doubts, the fights, and the wins.
Not another adviser: a confidant and a sparring partner who talks to you as an equal.
Together we find the answers you need, and we stay until you get there. We do not only draw on what we know: we draw on a network of experts and partners that opens up perspectives you did not have this morning.
One conversation.Five ways forward.
You lay the challenge on the table. Unpolished is fine. Together we name the shape of the answer, and I open the door to the person I would stake my own name on.
- 01
A consulting mandate
When the problem needs real weight behind it. A project with an established firm, scoped and steered so that it lands instead of ending in a deck.
- 02
The right interim executive
When you need capability now, not a hiring process. One person, vetted, who has solved exactly this before and can start while the problem is still hot.
- 03
A permanent hire
When the gap is structural. I introduce people I would hire myself, because I have worked beside them and know how they behave on a bad day.
- 04
At your side through M&A
When the stakes are the whole company. I stand next to you through the process, from the first quiet conversation to the day it is signed.
- 05
Long-term partnerships
When you are the solution for my network. I bring what my partners do to the people who need exactly that, and I connect the people behind it. Business comes out of it, and both sides gain. Bridge builder, referral, connector: call it what you like.
And when it makes sense, I simply stay. Ongoing engagement is not the exception here. More often than not, it is the point.
I only introducepeople I trustmyself.
I know who is genuinely the best because I have been beside them through launches, restructurings, and bad quarters. Those years are the vetting.
It is why you will only ever meet people I would trust with my own business.
You will never meet anyone I have not already worked with.
What the X stands for
I founded fabulous X. The X is the solution I would go all in on: the one counterpart who has carried the same weight and stays until it works. The door I open. The person I would stake my own name on.
Helge Weiss
Founder
A confidant, a mirror, a sparring partner. I know the people I introduce because I have worked beside them. The trust that came out of those years is the network you get.
Founder of fabulous X. The foundation: more than 25 years in executive commercial and operational roles across the TMT sector, and running my own consultancy alongside advisory roles in strategy, executive search, and operational excellence.

What you can count on
Commitment and drive
When I take a goal on, it is mine until it is reached.
Active involvement
In the room for the hard meetings, not on the phone after them.
Partnership built on trust
Beside you as a partner, not above you as an adviser.
Loyalty that lasts
The relationship does not end with the invoice.
People whovouch for me.
“Helge does not sell you a process. He listens, and two days later you are talking to exactly the right person.”
I have called him with problems that had no clean category. He never once passed me to someone he did not fully trust.
Glenn Deiters
Managing Director, Clear Cube
What makes him rare is that he stays. The introduction is where most people stop. For Helge it is where the work starts.
Jan Kuester
Account Director, iQmetrix
Straightforward, fast, and solution-oriented from day one. You get his honest view, even if it costs him the deal.
Moritz Roth
Managing Director, Mücke Roth & Company
Let's do epicfabuloussh*t.
Thirty minutes. No agenda, no deck, no invoice. You describe the situation, and we find out together whether there is something here.
I look forward to the first conversation.
