Imagine a world without hunger, where everyone can develop their future in peace and find decent employment. I see myself as a conductor for this.

A long time ago, I did my Master’s degree in Economics and Sociology at the University of Cologne. From 2008 until March 2023, I was the managing director of CEFE International. Now I have retired from active management of the company, and will continue to work with great pleasure as a short-term expert and mentor.

In my more than 40 years of professional life in development cooperation, I have carried out over 400 short-term assignments in 74 countries.

I am a passionate business person myself since 1988. I love entrepreneurship and am deeply involved in the development of experiential learning and the global dissemination of the CEFE approach, aiming at sustainable employment generation and responsible business evolution.
