About Me

Klaus Leweling – since studying Mathematics and Physics at university I have gathered a vast scope of professional experience, allowing me today to excel in connecting people with technology.

I have had the opportunity to grow in numerous practical areas on all levels, including as specialist for databases and networks as well as in top C-level management with responsibility for over a thousand members of staff. I have learnt by listening, developed a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed and gathered highly motivated teams to work on big projects. The fun of working together, the development through constant learning and the joy of success has built memories that will remain with my colleagues and me for a lifetime.

Indeed, cooperation with teams and personal contact with members of staff from all levels is essential to inform my decisions and add value to my business consultancy.

My creative instinct will occasionally lead to unexpected ideas in solving problems or setting up/redesigning structures, but always with the objective of paving the way for a future proof business development.

Bertelsmann, a global player in media, was the first step of my career. There I gained deep knowledge and extensive experience in the area of IT, working on significant, relevant developments in areas such as going digital and electronic publishing. I was also responsible for moving forward projects including automation of logistics, car navigation, customer service, direct marketing, development of the early electronic book and online database services.

Since the nineties the TV business has been my primary focus, starting nationally in setting up the Pay-TV business in Germany (Premiere, taken over by Sky later) as member of the executive board of directors with responsibility for all operations, IT systems, Customer Service and Logistics..

Thereafter I had a key role in turning a small UK TV broadcaster into a global media company.

The Internet, Web, Social Networking, Engagement Strategies, Video Streaming, Analytics – after years immersed in digital media I know these tools like the back of my hand, and can readily bring them to bear in a variety of management consultancy scenarios.

After having worked intensively with people for many years and gaining essential insights, the human factor in business is of particular importance to me. For all the trends that are emerging, it is clear to me that the Future is Human.

And then there is my faith …
