Michael Timmermann

Founder & CEO, Agile Coach

Profile

With his straightforwardness based on appreciation and coupled with humor, Michael embodies the consulting philosophy of Timmermann.

As a born entrepreneur, he founded his first company, raba.tt GmbH, in the marketing industry during high school. With this venture, he introduced the marketing tool "Coupons" to the German-speaking region. After selling the company, he studied psychology and then learned the tools of a traditional management consultant at McKinsey & Company. Following his role as a Partner for Change Management at a mid-sized management consulting firm, he founded Timmermann Partners. He also acquired the Ellernhof, a seminar and conference center in northern Germany near Hamburg, improved it, and sold it after three years.

Since September 2015, Michael has been enjoying fatherhood with his son Merlin.

Bernd Witzany

Chief Operating Officer

Profile

The theme of change has accompanied Bernd throughout his entire professional career. Whether as a student, employee, consultant, managing director, or as an independent entrepreneur, he has engaged with change as a constant on at least three continents. 

After studying economics, he led the SAP/R3 department as a division head in a state-owned enterprise, overseeing the organizational change process. Following a role as a Senior Consultant in SAP/R3, he became the Chief Operating Officer and Director of R&D for a globally operating company with locations in Monaco, Austria, and the USA. 

Several company acquisitions and mergers with businesses from Germany, Italy, Canada, and the USA further heightened his interest in and competence for managing change processes. With his own company, he served as managing partner, guiding clients through change processes, and working as CFO in long-term mandates. This period also involved the founding, establishment, and management of a company in the USA, where he holds a stake and serves on the supervisory board. 

Bernd brings extensive international experience to the Timmermann Group, combining it with a constant pursuit of social, methodological, and professional development. The Timmermann Group provides the ideal human and professional framework for this. 

With the same dedication and curiosity, he has always pursued his hobbies, including 15 years of American football and currently practicing Ju-Jitsu. He enjoys various forms of outdoor activities, embracing almost every sporting challenge. However, his most significant free time commitment now revolves his young son and an adopted canine companion at home.

Lukas Bargel

Associate Partner, Agile Coach

Profile

As a political scientist, Lukas combines the "hard" expertise of an economist and jurist with the "soft" insights of a sociologist and political scientist. Throughout his studies, he was particularly intrigued by the question of how good human interaction can function. For Lukas, this involves not only contemplating theoretical approaches but also taking concrete action and assuming responsibility: for several years, he has been actively involved in supporting families with a migration background. 

As an accomplished athlete, Lukas is a determined individual who gets straight to the point. Since he enjoys sharing his passion with others, he found a fitting challenge in competitive dancing. On the dance floor, he not only learned how to optimize his techniques successfully, maintain posture, and steadily work towards a big goal step by step, but also how important harmony, based on constructive-critical openness with others, is for long-term success. 

Lukas is someone you can share hearty laughter with, as well as engage in deep conversations. He is an avid train traveler, spending a lot of his free time on the move. During his city trips, he appreciates the peculiarities of different regions and explores not only the "taste" of other cultures over meals with friends.

Anna Lossmann

Head of Marketing & Sales

Profile

Anna has always been fascinated by the idea that superficial impressions can be deceiving, and things are often completely different than they appear. As an Englishwoman in Germany, she has gained ample personal experience with this - the conscious engagement with expression in a foreign language and the experience of being an outsider have shaped her. It has shown her that she feels at home where people appreciate and need her, and where they interact with each other fairly and empathetically. 

At Timmermann, she brings not only her personal strengths but also a diverse professional background, including psychology, communication, marketing, and press work. Her curiosity about change consulting and the motivation to significantly develop related marketing topics find a perfect environment at Timmermann, where she feels like she is speaking the same language. 

Anna recharges her mental energy in nature, through yoga, running, and playing the organ. As she enjoys cooking vegan and vegetarian meals, her physical energy is also well taken care of.

Profile

From the beginning of her professional career, Clara has been driven by the desire to enhance beauty and bring out the best in people. This originally brought her to the fine arts as an art historian, singer and cultural manager, for which her heart still beats - today in the form of the alma network.

She is convinced that by using individual strengths and values, changes become opportunities that everyone is invited to help shape. She has found fruitful ground for this vision in the Timmermann Group team.

To recharge her batteries, Clara can usually be found on a sailing boat in warm waters, traveling preferably in wine regions or behind her mobile bar Cocktail Cat on Classic Clippers.

Jan Ahrend

Expertise Leader (Expert)

Profile 

Photography sparked a deep fascination in Jan at an early age. Understanding seeing as a creative process opens new dimensions. Perspective and the shift of perspective can create something new as part of the design process. Creativity requires the courage to question the existing to break free from it. With the increasing dynamics of the economy, organization becomes a creative process as well. 

Confronted with the waves of the New and Old Economy, marked by significant changes, the themes of Change and Digitalization have consistently woven through his professional journey like a common thread. Change is like a journey, with a distant destination, and yet one navigates by sight in the right direction. One thing is certain, many unexpected surprises will happen along the way. Planning is important and simultaneously futile. Agility and resilience, for him, are ways to proactively prepare for yet unknown changes. 

Professional Background & Education: 

• Started as a Project Manager in the New Economy 
• Experienced the agile transformation in large corporations in reverse 
• Tackled new topics and challenges on various levels and in various industries

Michael Menchau

Expertise Leader, Agile Coach (Expert)

As an engineer who believes that "nothing is too difficult," Michael started his career after university and quickly found his way into IT as a database specialist. Staying in this field, he soon took on the role of a classic project manager, ensuring that many individuals worked together toward a common goal.

Michael is always curious about new ideas and innovations. To bring these to life, work environments are needed where people can fully realize their potential. That’s why he has been supporting teams and entire organizations for over 20 years in making new agile ways of working useful for them. He helps individuals not only achieve their goals but also find their personal position with his experience and coaching expertise.

At Timmermann Partners, he inspires with an integrative approach that views change not merely as a shift in methods but as the establishment of sustainable foundations, allowing our clients to continue their own journey independently in the long term.

By combining the roles of Agile Expertise Leader, Innovation Scout, and Coach, Michael brings a holistic perspective. This enables both leaders and employees to build a sustainable, new future and successfully navigate their way through it.

To stay grounded, he takes to the skies—paragliding. He loves playing with the light element in the "here and now." However, when the weather isn't good for flying, he always finds another excuse to escape to the Alps.

Professional Background

In 2001, he first encountered XP as an agile methodology and gradually established these ways of working in projects and with clients.
Since 2019, he has worked as an Agile Coach and Trainer at one of the largest consulting firms, focusing on scaling and agile transformations toward business agility.

A childhood spent on three continents (and one subcontinent), university education from Prehistory and Ethnology to English and History of Arts , professional stations ranging from the Bonn Rock Musicians' Association to Executive Creative Director and Head of Strategy in various agencies, starting a family and co-founding an NGO that helps street children in Nepal (Bbuildsupnepal, feel free to join) find their way back to their families.

Michael Boberach

Senior Consultant, Agile Coach

Profile

Openness, curiosity, and the quest for understanding "why" have always driven Michael. He enjoys exploring what people think, feel, their needs, how they interact (in organizations), and how one can bring about change when things no longer fit. He loves taking different perspectives, especially the meta-perspective. He willingly exposes himself to contrasts and learns from the tension they create. A reflective, systemic, and people-oriented approach is always important to him.

At Timmermann, he is particularly thrilled by the diversity of people, their warmth, openness, and the continuous commitment to lifelong learning ("Change Mindset"). This creates a wonderful atmosphere for him to achieve great things and collectively support others in guiding people and organizations through changes.

Alexandra Oswald

Consultant, Agile Coach

Profile

The glasses through which we view the world determine the experiences we have. Understanding why people have such different lenses and perspectives, and how to change them, has always intrigued Alexandra. 

To satisfy this curiosity and learn more about human experiences and behavior, Alexandra studied psychology. Concurrently, she gained practical experience in personnel development and management consulting, exploring how to support individuals in organizational contexts to grow and step out of their comfort zones. 

She volunteered to teach school classes about the significance of our own attitudes in workshops focused on mental health. Being a member of a student coaching association, she learned how to actively help people change their perspective on a given topic. 

Alexandra has encountered different perspectives and undergone changes herself, such as during her semester abroad in Sweden or her solo backpacking trip through South America. Alexandra is particularly excited to now accompany organizations and individuals through change processes with the Timmermann Group, combining psychology with strategy. 

She finds her balance through yoga, in nature while hiking or skiing, or simply on the sofa with a good book. Since her journey to South America, she has developed a keen interest in Latin American dances, which she practices with great joy and not-so-great rhythm.

Clara Scheufler

Consultant, Agile Coach

Profile 

Developing, motivating, and individually supporting people in their potentials has always brought great joy to Clara. At the age of 13, she was already a unicycle coach in the gym, creating training concepts and choreographies for young athletes. She also designed and led workshops and talent development measures for the Bavarian Cycling Association. 

Driven by her passion for working with and for people, Clara chose to study psychology in Regensburg, Bergen (Norway), and Berlin. Alongside her studies, Clara gained practical experience in leadership coaching and occupational health psychology. She entered the consulting world as a student consultant, further refining her consulting skills during an internship with a consultancy focused on mindfulness, leadership, and cultural change. 

Mindfulness and mental health, especially in the workplace, are close to Clara's heart. Consequently, she decided to become a certified yoga teacher and wrote her master's thesis on the effects of mindfulness on burnout and work engagement. To promote the mental health of students, she conducted voluntary workshops on self-care, conflict resolution, and self-worth. 

Although few may be familiar with unicycle freestyle, Clara practiced this sport as a competitive athlete for many years, earning medals at European and world championships. During this time, her love for travel developed, leading to two half-year backpacking trips through New Zealand and Asia after completing her bachelor's and master's degrees. 

When not on her yoga mat, Clara enjoys dancing ballet and contemporary, cycling, or exploring the mountains through hiking or skiing.

Philip Ischebeck

Consultant, Agile Coach

Profile 

Philip is a bridge between multiple worlds. From his mother, a psychologist and coach, he gained a deep interest in personal development. From his father, an economist, he was drawn to the complexities of economic systems. These influences naturally led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business psychology, where the intersection of individual growth and organizational success became his focus. 

During his studies, it was his frequent journeys to India—immersing himself in yoga and meditation retreats—that profoundly shaped his professional outlook. These transformative experiences ignited his passion for mindfulness, prompting Philip to pursue a master’s in Cognitive Science. Here, he explored how mindfulness practices can profoundly enhance mental health, resilience, and cognitive strength. Through both his academic journey and personal practice, Philip developed a powerful set of tools and perspectives that go beyond conventional approaches. 

Philip is committed to integrating the principles of business psychology and mindfulness into Western work culture. He believes that blending these approaches can unlock untapped potential within individuals and organizations, offering solutions that foster deep, meaningful, and sustainable growth. 

At Timmermann, Philip is grateful to find a forward-thinking, transformative environment where his ideas can thrive. His goal is to create a lasting impact for clients who reeeally mean it, using a blend of psychology and mindfulness to drive transformation. 

Outside of work, Philip can often be found playing frisbee or deepening his yoga and meditation practice. He regularly retreats to India and aspires to live the life of a monk one day.

While in school, he actively engaged as a conflict mediator and organized events, which sparked his passion for understanding the interplay between human behavior and organizational dynamics. This led him to pursue a degree in psychology at the University of Salzburg, where he focused on business psychology to bridge the gap between human behavior and economic decision-making.

Anja Hengge

Team Assistant

Profile

Even as a child, Anja knew that things only bring joy when experienced together. Teamwork and a sense of community, combined with empathy and helpfulness, have been Anja's most distinctive core qualities since childhood. 

After studying English and French literature, media, and culture, Anja's fascination with the written word initially led her to the world of publishing. There, she observed the creation of titles from concept to bestseller and supported and promoted them in the press department. After almost 10 years, however, the desire for something new struck her again, and since standstill is regression in Anja's eyes, it drove her to new horizons. Now, she supports the Timmermann Consulting Team as a team assistant. Here, she not only enjoys the joy of progress and change among the Timmermann people but also appreciates the genuine warmth in the team's interactions. 

Even in her free time, Anja prefers to be among people unless a new novel has her in its grip because Anja has certainly not given up on the world of books. However, if she is not currently tracing the footsteps of the great literary classics, you can find her either kickboxing, enjoying a beer garden with friends, or occasionally sprinting through Munich on her racing bike.

Timmermännchen

Senior Nutcracker

Profile

Timmermännchen is shaped by its climbing and adventure spirit, which has taken it to quite a few tall trees in Munich. Its literal pursuit of higher ground is a regular inspiration for the entire Timmermann Group. Moreover, with its cheeky, lively demeanor, it always spreads a cheerful atmosphere. 

Before its time at Timmermann Partners, Timmermännchen's abundant experience as a climbing artist and mood lifter benefited primarily the other creatures of the garden. Due to its very personal experience, Timmermännchen is convinced that outdoor training in the high ropes course is an essential part of any change process – because only those who leave their comfort zone can reach great heights. 

When Timmermännchen is not wholeheartedly supporting Timmermann Partners' clients and consultants in change processes, you can find it dozing in its nest in the Timmermann premises' garden. Here, it leisurely cracks tough nuts and enjoys the hearty contents.
