If you are planning a talk on one of these topics and are looking for a speaker with strong stage presence, authenticity and sound expertise, then you should get in touch with me. For my audience (regardless of whether they are leadership circles, sales staff, producers, farmers, winemakers, chefs, gastro professionals or students) I am passionate about speaking on current topics that move our industry: Whether it’s about culinary experiences, food culture or the origin of our daily food. But also about global developments and international trade, about long-term trends or about technical aspects like digitalization in agriculture. In my keynotes, I address the respective topic from the perspective of long-term and sustainable development. My approach is always “cross-referencing”: how does everyday life change through industry, how do markets change through mindsets, how do values change through culture?
In doing so, I ask thought-provoking questions, challenge preconceived thought patterns, amuse you with anecdotes – and above all generate optimism.
Great keynotes need humor, emotions and strong images. For this I use an elaborate presentation technique and speak mainly without a manuscript, because I want to build a creative tension between the world of images and words. Otherwise: Let me surprise you and trust me.
