Industry Background
After finishing my studies of technical engineering I have been working for the Wieland-group, a German producer of semifinished products, first in the technical support for the production facilities, than as a member of technical marketing. In the year 2000, right before moving to Austria, I was a member of the core "strategy" team, partnered with McKinsey. Since that time, I've acted as the managing director of an Austrian subsidiary of Wieland, mainly dealing with copper tubes, copper and brassbars. The basis of my career could be found in good communication and presentation skills. I strongly believe in 80/20 and therefore I´m no perfectionist. The highlights (supporting my career) have been trouble shooting in Asia through 1998 /1999 and the collaboration with McKinsey.

Personal Vision
I believe in the increase of value based ethics in the business world, especially between business partners (b2b) and even among competitors. There are a lot of people who bend the truth even when saying nothing. Business based on this way of communication always run the risk to collapse.

Personal Plans
Where do I want to go? I reached a lot at a quite young age. Maybe later on I will want to take over more responsibility (bigger company). I will always increase the value of the company I am working for and give all of the engaged employees a safe working place.

Personal Interest
My personal interest are my family with a beautiful wife and three wonderful children, skiing with the family and friends, playing the Oboe and basketball.
