As a successful advisor and manager for the UniCredit Group for more than 19 years and as a board member of his family-owned business, he knows all too well the importance and challenges of implementing abstract business concepts into concrete actions.

He consciously works on improving training methods, implementing new ways of delivering leadership and sales skills and sharing his knowledge in a “hands on” fashion with people in their daily business.
Combining efficient management skills with people- and value-oriented attitudes and behaviour, Dirk engages people on intellectual, behavioural, and emotional levels for goal-oriented action. He motivates them towards sustained peak performance. His focus is the immediate transfer into daily business.
