My chapter "career" began in April 2013 when I joined the Frankfurt Chapter as a newly certified PMP and, as with so many, as a "PDU collector". I became more active 3 years later in the board department Marketing/Communication. From November 2017, I was able to accompany the Frankfurt Chapter through its 30th anniversary year as President.

After my re-election in December 2019, the main task was to prepare the unification of the German PMI Chapter into THE ONE Germany Chapter with my colleagues on the board there. Special attention was given to anchoring the two regions (Branches) Central and North of the new Germany Chapter, which emerged from the Frankfurt Chapter. I am looking forward to what lies ahead of us as an association, because we have an enthusiastic (board) team, a highly motivated group of volunteers and with you as members a multi-layered community, for whom we want to set up an even better offer for professional and personal development. We can only do that if we all work together.

My other two lives: I have been working in various business and service areas of Deutsche Bank since late 1997, most recently as Change Execution Manager in the Finance division. I was born in East Westphalia and live in Gelnhausen in a house together with my wife, our son and two cats. Every now and then it gets loud in our house, namely when I patiently rehearse new riffs with my electric guitar.
