The common thread that runs through my life is that I want to make a difference. I would like to have contributed to the fact that following generations will find a livable planet with a lovable coexistence.
Love it, change it or leave it.
This motto fits very well with my social commitment. First in the Catholic Church, then in politics, then in various interest groups. As I have often offended others with my unconventional ideas, fast pace, self-taught further developments and leadership responsibility and have thus mostly been exposed to envy, mobbing and hostility, I have withdrawn from the public sector and try to implement my philosophy in my companies and thereby make a contribution to social change.
