BOARD LEADERSHIP

The Unique Perspective Family Businesses Need

"Family businesses need an external view to recognize their strengths and overcome blind spots. As an outsider, I can make necessary decisions without emotional attachment while respecting company culture and values." — Dr. Markus Dirr

Proven Board Leadership in Action
With over 20 years of C-level experience managing multi-entity holdings and €500M+ revenues, I bring proven governance expertise and operational depth to boardroom discussions.

Currently serving as active supervisory and advisory board member, I contribute strategic oversight across:

• Multi-Entity Governance

• AI Innovation & Digital Transformation

• Growth & Restructuring

• Executive Leadership

What I Bring to the Boardroom
Beyond board roles, I've held CEO, Chief Digital Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer positions at leading enterprises. This operational background enables me to bridge traditional governance with modern digital business models—essential for family businesses navigating transformation.

I'm selectively open to supervisory and advisory board positions where I can contribute meaningful strategic value—particularly for family-owned businesses navigating transformation.
