Welche Eigenschaften schätzen Freunde an Dir?
(Hoffentlich) Geradlinigkeit und Begeisterungsfähigkeit.
Which challenges appeal to you especially?
The ones I can tackle with my team, whether at work or in sport.
Your favourite pass-time after a successful day at work?
Spending time with my family and friends, lots of art, culture and a bit of sport.
Which dream do you want to fulfil?
Short-term: Glastonbury Festival – if I can finally get tickets
Long-term: Farm my own vineyard
How do you recharge your batteries?
On Saturday mornings with a stack of newspapers, my iPad, a large coffee and a view of the Rhine. Or at the stadium watching my favourite football team – Schalke 04.
Which adventure is on your agenda?
With two adolescent sons, I’m sure there will be plenty.
What was your biggest achievement at SMP?
I’m especially proud that I turned my back on a neatly structured career track with an international corporation and decided to join what was a small consulting firm, which we have continued to build ever since. SMP has enjoyed plenty of success in the meantime.
Which personal possession would you hate to give away?
If I really had to pick anything, it would probably be my technical gadgets (which I tend to replace too frequently anyway).
Your motto in life?
“It is better to act and regret than to regret having not acted at all." Melin de Saint-Gelays
