Robert grew up in Berlin, Germany. He completed a master’s degree in mathematics in Berlin and Barcelona before he became a Human Resources professional while at PWC, one of the “Big Four'' accounting firms. During this career stage he got insights to the structure of multinational blue-chip corporations, as well as small and medium sized companies. During this time, he gained an understanding of why some companies are more successful than others. Spoiler alert: It has to do with leadership and management strategies.

Based on this expertise, he became an executive at RWE, the biggest energy supply corporation in Germany. There he became a project lead of “New Way of working”, a full company transformation program further diving into different organizational set-ups and learning how a holistic approach to leadership, operational excellence and End2End-process management drives performance, success, and satisfaction of employees.

To back his practical experiences up with theoretical insight, Robert has become  a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt, an Agile coach, a certified Professional Scrum master and Scrum Product owner as well as a PRINCE2- project manager.  

Robert believes that excellence in leadership and self-organizing teams are two different words for the same thing. The concept of servant leadership in Scrum, i.e., a great leader’s role is to support team members to perform at their best. Robert teaches leaders how to do exactly that.
