In this conversation with Matthias Altendorf, we unpack the journey from workshop apprentice to CEO — and the leadership philosophy behind guiding a global, family-owned company into the future.

We speak about:

Leading innovation without fear Turning uncertainty into manageable risk Why diversity builds resilience The balance between long-term stability and speed of change The role of digital transformation and AI in shaping tomorrow's leadership At the heart of it all: a simple but powerful principle — be kind, be clear, and walk the talk.

An inspiring exchange on leadership, transformation, and preparing organizations for the unknown future.
