About Thomas

I support agencies, brands, and industrial companies in the successful implementation of complex trade fair, brand experience, and event projects – from the initial idea to successful on-site execution.

For over 20 years, I have managed national and international projects for companies such as Rittal, BDR Thermea, Intel, adidas Originals, Hyundai, Knorr-Bremse, and Schleich. In doing so, I take responsibility for project phases with many stakeholders, tight timelines, and high quality requirements.

My focus is on project leadership of international trade fair and event formats, brand experiences, digital experiences, and the management of interdisciplinary teams. I work in a structured, solution-oriented, and hands-on manner – always with the goal of bringing projects to a successful conclusion safely and efficiently.

I am often involved when projects are particularly demanding or require experienced support at short notice – whether as a Senior Project Lead, Interim Manager, or troubleshooter.
