Christoph, who is a business economist by profession, has been working in various management positions in the automotive industry for more than 20 years before deciding to give his personal career a major twist. He quit his job for a career break, replacing extensive working-hours by quality-time with family, friends and long deferred projects of heart: he lends a hand to a befriended winemaker in his vineyards, cooks meals for passers-by with saved food or tries to push the agenda of the renewables by constructing a photovoltaic facility on his own account.
Inspired by the concepts of sustainability, circularity and the idea to make the world a (slightly) better place, he strives for a role where he can reconcile commercial with social and ecological paradigms.
