Profile

As an experienced manager, Rainer convinced in executive business management roles in various larger organizations. He gained substantial experience in financial services. In the course of his career, he underwent several profound change processes - including spin-offs and sales. That is why Rainer knows what organisations and people have to deal with mentally when they are faced with change.

He has always been fascinated by people and their individual development. Whether as a youth leader in the protestant church, as a basketball coach or as a mentor for qualified junior leaders - Rainer appreciates human contact. Therefore, he complemented his life and leadership experience with specific training in coaching in order to be able to act as a professional companion on an equal footing.

For Rainer, sport is a pleasant balance to his daily work. He can be extremely determined and, when it comes down to it, show enormous stamina. When it comes to sport, the experienced community and cheerful togetherness are especially important to him. Rainer himself still plays with passion at the German Senior Championships in basketball. For him, both go together: Reflecting on oneself in order to recognize one's strengths and weaknesses, and at the same time to look for the "best possible" solution in the respective context as a team. This allows a team to develop continuously.

Rainer is a very pleasant companion. He likes conversations at eye level, is interested and curious about his counterpart. Since he can at the same time contribute his experiences to the respective context, a trusting atmosphere quickly develops. It serves as a basis for tackling even more difficult topics together.

Early on Axel was driven by the question "Why or why not differently?", which first led him to the natural sciences. The search for new ideas and for understanding led him to go to the USA for his diploma thesis at a time when this was not yet common practice. With the choice of biophysics, he took the path of interdisciplinarity very early on and found great pleasure in it. Later, business administration and soft skills such as coaching and conflict resolution were added.

Axel learned successful consulting and professional project management in a large strategic management consultancy, but also practised in strategic positions in the life science industry. Most of the time, the focus was on new and unprecedented projects. Thus Axel's work was mostly characterized by changes in the past and an environment of dynamic flow. To lead these changes or to accompany other people is an important concern for him.

The focus of Axel's professional work was on technical and scientific industries, in particular the life sciences industry. In addition to functional competence, Axel is also interested in understanding the business content of his clients. His favourite discipline is therefore strategy development and implementation, which he prefers to call foot-head work rather than supreme discipline.

Because excellent results are only possible with a balanced life balance, family, sports and music play an important role for him. He also enjoys going to the mountains, skiing, hiking, cycling or jogging. If there is still time left, the neighbours are spoiled with saxophone sounds, more and more often supported by his daughter's drums.

After half a lifetime of advertising, Thilo got to the insight that communication must „make sense“. Which succeeds only, when the intention is more than just selling the next product to a customer. Thilo’s many years of experience in direct marketing and a small trip into the psychographic analysis of target groups made him to the communication professional which he is today.

After studying international marketing in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Australia, Thilo's professional career as a creative strategist took its course through globally active advertising agencies in Hamburg and Berlin. A peak in his career was the development and implementation of a cloud-based CRM environment for 103 ŠKODA AUTO markets, which Thilo has managed as a co-director of an agency founded in Prague for this project. More than 250 individualized direct marketing measures for online and offline channels have been developed and provided to all markets involved in a time span of 4 years: Selling is good, changing is better. And that was also the linchpin, where Timmermann Partners turned out to be the next logical step.

In his spare time, Thilo devotes himself to the promotion of fingerstyle guitarists in Europe, organizes concert tours, primarily in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland, and he also plays home concerts from time to time.

Already as a child, Sebastian spoke of becoming an inventor. Exploring undiscovered paths has always excited him, and still does. Back then he was often called a dreamer. Today he knows, that he managed to accomplish the visions, that he had already then.

This visionary ingenuity, in combination with the interest in digitization, opens up new topics in which Sebastian likes to dive into. His ability to create something new and bring it to life, has always been his biggest motivation and energy.

His fondness for the Internet began in the late 90s, where he found an ally in Michael Timmermann. Sebastian already supported him with his first company, raba.tt gmbh.

In his search for new challenges, Sebastian has worked in various positions for numerous companies in the digital industry in recent years.

Sebastian can look back on over 20 years of experience in online marketing. With his wide-ranging experience, he actively contributes to Timmermann Partners. Combined with his visionary nature, he actively supports the development of Timmermann Digital.

Inspired by the new topic of change management, he sees an exciting challenge in digitizing change. His goal is to make the complex topic of change more easily accessible to more recipients via digital media.

In order to get a good balance to the digital world, Sebastian likes to put on his leather-cowl, swing on his Harley and just start driving. For him, riding a Harley is not riding a motorcycle, but the feeling of freedom, individuality and nonconformity.

Sepp loves storytelling for a reason: by narrating things can be connected in hindsight, which seem random and arbitrary as they happen. This skill helps him make sense of a non-linear CV shaped by curiosity and a longing for new challenges.

Employment as production assistant of the Bonn Club of Rock Musicians, creative director and head of strategy in various agencies, founding a family, and an NGO supporting abandoned children in Nepal (Bbuildsupnepal, feel free to join) to get back to their families. Each and every station has to do with change, and this has made Timmermann Partners a perfect fit.

Anna-Carla is convinced that a change of perspectives is a big gain for one’s personal development and key for successful teamwork.

Dominik loves life and thus has tried out a lot. After a few enriching detours, he graduated from high school in his hometown Munich as one of the best students in his class. After that, he went to the Communauté de Taizé in France where he lived in a shared housing community with young people from over 20 nations. There, he took responsibility in different areas, e.g., preparing breakfast for up to 8.000 visitors or organizing the youth meeting in Nairobi. Furthermore, he used the time to think about himself, the world and questions about God.

After that excursion, he commenced his studies in National Economy and Sociology with statistics at LMU Munich. As he was one of the best students in his class, he was awarded with the “Germany Scholarship”.

Prior to his time at Timmermann Partners, Dominik worked at the consultancy Soliance with a focus on risk controlling.

Understanding other cultures and travelling to foreign countries has always been at Paul’s heart – although his slogan appears incongruent with his cosmopolitan worldview. Paul believes that exploring the previously unknown helps to understand and appreciate one’s own background. To fill his box with new experiences and impressions, he studied Intercultural Management and Communication, doing semesters abroad in California and Portugal, and relaxed while working in and travelling New Zealand. Eventually, he completed his Master’s degree in Sweden.

In various university projects for corporations and social enterprises, Paul learned to think systemically, conceptualize root-cause-oriented solutions and question the status quo. At the Family Enterprise Case Competition in the U.S.A., he was awarded with the graduate world champion title in solving complex case studies related to family firms. During his management studies, Paul worked at consultancy firms as a passionate author of specialist books and eloquent content marketer. Anyhow, only writing could not satisfy him anymore, wherefore he now aims at applying his knowledge and ideas at Timmermann Partners. As a consultant, Paul can finally put his passion for holistic solutions and his excitement for organizational change into practice.

Unfortunately, his professional agility does not mirror on the football pitch. Yet, Paul compensates that with his outstanding technique and vision. When playing laser tag with his colleagues, he balances out his rather insufficient physical speed with focus, patience and learning agility. On weekends, Paul and his girlfriend go hiking and explore the mountains and lakes of Bavaria.

Bringing people with different topics and perspectives together and in a good exchange is Johannes' passion. This became obvious at an early age: he was already a mediator in primary school and years later a matchmaker among his friends. During his studies he was able to live out this passion as a member of the senate and elected representative of the "Akademischer Mittelbau".

Due to his pronounced service orientation he started his study career in hotel management, where he later worked as a self-employed consultant. During this time he discovered his interest in applied science and began to actively turn to it. The following academic career resulted in a PhD in Innovation Management, where Johannes gained his first experience as a consultant in Change projects. He quickly realized that right there his competence and passion complement each other perfectly. Inspired and impressed by the effectiveness and ability of his teaching trainers and consulting colleagues, he began his career as a organizational developer and Change Manager in organizations. In order to be able to offer his acquired competences as a consultant in a suitable environment, he waited for his own "Perfect Match", which he finally found with the Timmermann Group. Inspired by the company's motto of accompanying clients with heart and mind, he considers this to be his ideal place to work.

As a balance to his professional everyday life, the hobby wine connoisseur and ex-marathon runner ("…the knee...") prefers to be out in the mountains.

Anja's boundless curiosity for the new and the unknown already distinguished her as a child. After graduating from high school at the top of her class, she turned her back on school and studying to do something completely different by work at a workshop for people with disabilities.

During her psychology studies, Anja got to know various fields of application of psychology and was fascinated by all the learning opportunities she was offered. She wanted to better understand how people think, feel and act. In particular she was interested in human behaviour in social systems, societies and teams. Driven by the desire to make this knowledge useable for our society, she became involved in various sustainability initiatives and health care projects during her studies.

The wish to reeeally make a difference, also professionally, led Anja to Timmermann Partners. She supports the team with her warm, attentive and curious nature as Senior Cnsultant and Agile Coach.

Veronika loves to dive passionately into new and unknown topics. Growing up, she was surrounded by art (her family owned a wood-carving business), and she’s devoted much of her time to her passion for music. After performing in countless concerts as a child, she later decided to focus on the violin and opera singing at university.

During her studies, she conquered numerous opera stages. It fascinated her to discover the intensity with which she explored her limits. Alongside her music career, she also focused on teaching and developing others, which aroused her interest in psychological topics such as learning and motivation. To satisfy her thirst for knowledge, she pursued a Masters Degree in Business Psychology, with a focus on change management.

Shortly after her Masters studies, she decided to make a big change and to focus on business instead of music. She wanted to fully experience organisations in a state of flux. Which is why she became a project manager for restructuring measures in a connector company for hardware stores. As a musician she had developed an ability to quickly switch perspectives between learning and teaching, which has given her a deepened intuition of what people need in order to change. A quality she also brings to her work today as a change consultant. Her special focus is to inspire and empower people, so that they can take new approaches to change.

Veronika also seeks feelings of both intensity and grounding in her free time. She loves to jump into cold mountain lakes, ski through deep powder snow, or just sit at the top of a mountain or by the sea and admire the great nature.

Lukas combines the “hard” know-how of an economist and lawyer with the “soft” insights of a sociologist and political scientist. During his studies, he was especially interested in finding out how good human interaction can work. For Lukas, the answer leads not only to theoretical approaches, but also to taking actions and responsibility. For several years now, he has been accompanying families with an immigration background.

Being a competitive athlete, Lukas is a very determined person who quickly gets to the point. Since he loves to share his passion with others, he found a suitable challenge in tournament dance. On the dance floor, he learned to optimize his techniques, to maintain his posture and to work step by step towards a great goal. In addition he learned that mutual harmony combined with staying open to constructive as well as critical feedback is just as important for long-term success.

With Lukas, one can have a good laugh as well as deep conversations. He enjoys himself riding the train, which is why he is on the road a lot. When visiting a city, he soaks up the characteristics of different regions and explores the “taste” of other cultures mainly but not exclusively by eating with friends.

Teresa's path initially led her to study Business Administration in Mannheim. During her studies, she was particularly enthusiastic about the subject of management, which evoked her desire to occupy herself more with people and their needs. In her subsequent psychology studies, she sought out answers to questions, such as “What moves and motivates people?” and “How can they be supported in their development?”.

She completed her second undergraduate degree specialising in Economic and Organisational Psychology with a master's degree in Clinical Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience. Since then, Teresa has consolidated her desire to work less deficit-oriented and more resource-oriented and to reveal and promote people's strengths. Searching for the right environment for this mission she found Timmermann Partners.

During her studies it was important to Teresa to stand up for and support her fellow students and help to actively shape everyday life at the university. Motivated by strong role models in her life, she decided to pass on her positive experience and became involved as a mentor for new students.

As a former competitive athlete, Christian already got to know the principle of agile work and change management in his youth. Injuries, for example, repeatedly led to training plans and methods having to be adapted at short notice.

As a graduate business educator, he quickly realised that his role as a teacher in a predetermined system would not be a professional perspective for him. In private education, on the other hand, he was able to live out both his passion for training and further education and his creative and entrepreneurial disposition.

Christian took on his first project responsibility directly after his studies as part of the development of new and innovative courses for a private university. In the following years he worked for various large private educational institutions. Both as Head of Business Development and as Managing Director, he designed, founded and built up training and further education programmes, study programmes and universities. As a rule, the focus was on in-service or job-integrating models.

Christian now brings his experience in setting up educational institutions to the Timmermann Group in order to expand and establish a new service line in the form of the Timmermann Academy.

In his spare time, he has preserved his passion for sport. He is now not only seen running across fields and meadows, but also exploring the trails on his mountain bike. 

Professional background & education:

• Many years of experience in advising ministries and educational institutions

To do things differently requires a lot of courage. Marina left her usual environment behind many times. In the U.S., Spain, Mexico, and Argentina, she looked for new perspectives on society, business, politics, colorful inspiration, and many human encounters.

An important success factor for continuous performance and learning is physical and mental fitness. Again, it requires courage to let go in order to discover new resources. Therefore, Marina supports the Timmermann team as the feel-good manager offering to integrate fitness and relaxation for body and mind in the daily work life.

Her passion for discovery led her to her pioneer work as a self-employed coach and trainer for young people supporting them in their professional and personal development. She helps people experiencing a quarter-life crisis, university and high school students and trainees to study more successfully and to discover their potentials. Her openness, joy for life and endurance make personality and career development a positive and fun experience.

To recharge her own batteries, Marina spends time in nature doing sports, in the kitchen preparing self-creations of vitamin boosters or painting colorful impressions.

After graduating from high school, Monika lived for two years in a village with 50 inhabitants in the Australian outback. The proximity to nature, the unique village community and the diverse work experiences - for example driving bulldozers and teaching in the local village school - have had a lasting effect on her life.

Monika was interested early on in how people think and act and what moves them. Guided by these questions, she decided to study psychology in Vienna. Through her many years of voluntary work in student organisations, Monika gained leadership experience and acquired knowledge in project management. This awakened her interest in organizational development and consulting. In her work, Monika focuses on sustainability as well as social and societal relevance. The importance of mental health and the destigmatization of mental disorders are particularly close to her heart. Three years ago she therefore initiated a Mental Health Awareness Week at the University of Vienna, which is still going on today.

Monika finds it particularly motivating to work with committed people who are interested in mutual growth and are not afraid to discuss unpleasant topics. It is important to her to really get in touch with other people and to actively listen to each other. At the Timmermann Group, Monika sees the opportunity to contribute her previous experience and to deepen it with economic insights. She attaches great importance to questioning her own beliefs and to learning continuously. Here she has found a place that meets these requirements.

Monika enjoys spending time with her family and friends. A train journey across Canada has awakened her interest in travelling by train. After work, you can sometimes find her playing squash or doing yoga.

Clara enjoys actively seeking change in her life. To do so, she decided time and again to move away: She went to Chile for a student exchange program, lived in Spain for two years after graduating from high school, and in recent years she has often been abroad for studies and internships - especially in Spanish-speaking countries. Dealing with other cultures and people has been a valuable experience for Clara, teaching her the importance of diversity and openness to new things.

During her master's degree in Copenhagen, she learned how companies in particular can deal with change by focusing on Diversity & Change Management. Clara would now like to bring her enthusiasm for transformation processes and her practical experience in strategic HR management to Timmermann Partners. She is particularly motivated by the fact that she is always able to take on new professional and personal challenges.

In her free time Clara loves to travel. Be it a city break or a backpacking trip through Latin America - no journey is too far for her. Since Clara was three years old, she has been on skis and in ballet shoes, but she also enjoys new sports, such as diving or yoga.

Katharina's interest in interpersonal behaviour and economic interrelationships was evident early on. After graduating from secondary school, she decided to take her Abitur at grammar school - originally to study to become a teacher of music and English. This plan changed, however, when Katharina realized: "That doesn't fit 100 percent with my professional ideas. So after graduating from high school, she decided to take a gap year for further orientation and took a look behind the scenes of a law firm and a radio station, among other things. Even though her interests seem to be very different, Katharina soon realized that they are all based on the same foundation: enthusiasm for human experience and behavior in all its facets. Therefore she decided to study psychology in the beautiful town of Bamberg.

During her studies, Katharina gained first relevant insights into the psychosocial and clinical care of adults and adolescents through internships. But Katharina also wanted to get to know the economic context. Therefore, after completing her studies, she decided to do an internship in HR, more precisely in recruiting, and thus gained valuable experience in the field of personnel recruitment.

In order to get a more differentiated picture, Katharina now wants to see more of the economy and experience the exciting world of a change management consultancy.  At the Timmermann Group, she is particularly interested in the cordial and transparent corporate culture, communication at eye level as well as the diverse internal development opportunities.

Katharina's great passion is music - especially singing. She also enjoys writing poetry and loves to let off steam while dancing and baking.

Interacting with people, motivating people and helping people: this is always the focus of Andreas' daily work. Be it sports, music or even in a professional context.

Through various challenges, such as changing an application program or implementing a profound process change, he became aware of the importance of change management already during his vocational training after graduating from high school. Meaningful, structured communication work for the intrinsic motivation of people and thus for sustainable rethinking is essential for successful change.

A personality test once described Stefan as a "realistic dreamer", a term that fits Stefan very well. For him, the status quo is something that should never be accepted without reflection. Successful change for him means achieving a balance between ambition and pragmatism, between realism and dreams.

In order to explore and understand his own values, Stefan began his academic career with a bachelor's study of philosophy and social sciences in Bielefeld. There he was awarded, among other things, the Deutschlandtipendium for highly talented and committed students. However, his specific interest in change processes and their manifold possibilities and pitfalls was awakened in his master's studies of philosophy and business administration in Copenhagen. There he was able to examine the topic academically from various angles. 

Stefan found his long time in the international student organization AIESEC particularly enriching. Among other things, he headed the local committee in Bielefeld and conducted various workshops and training sessions over the years. In addition, he supported the marketing activities of Fundación Ecosueños in Bogotá in Colombia in a social internship and was able to gain practical experience in the HR sector in an internship with the dalli group in Timişoara in Romania. Most recently, he worked as an Innovation Consultant with the non-governmental organisation Oxfam IBIS in Copenhagen as part of his master's thesis. In the course of this, his path even led him to Sierra Leone for field research.

In his free time, Stefan enjoys reading, playing strategy games (whether board, card or computer games), doing sports, learning languages and travelling. Especially his long experience in Mixed Martial Arts has taught him the importance of perseverance, fairness and the desire to constantly improve.

"And what now?", Florian asked himself, when he finally held the high-school diploma in his hands. At first he decided to take a year off, to find out where he wants to go later. A process which then, as now - maybe even never - is completed.
In his gap year Florian completed a four-month internship in a large psychiatric clinic in the east of Munich. He was fascinated not only by the contact with patients, but also by constantly rediscovering himself in interaction with others. Therefore he decided to study psychology at the University of Regensburg.
Over the course of his studies, the native of Munich was able to gain insights into many exciting fields of psychological application - be it through clinical internships, as a student assistant in research or in the personnel departments of several internationally operating companies. Last but not least, he had the opportunity to supplement his Master's degree with a stay abroad at Ōsaka (Japan). At Timmermann Partners Florian has the opportunity to contribute his skills in an corporate context and to sharpen them even further.
In his spare time, Florian's meditation exercises and gym training teach him to pursue personal goals while at the same time being kind and benevolent with himself. On Sundays he also likes to spend time with friends and a glass of wine while watching the crime scene.

As one of three siblings Dagmar learned quickly that communication is not only about volume: cleverness, unexpected messages and the right timing are equally important. After bringing these traits as an adolescent to perfection, she decided to study business administration with a special focus on marketing. By means of various internships, she gained lots of hands-on experience. Her first job was quite a challenge:  being solely responsible for the marketing of a medium-sized business.

After several workplaces and various experiences, she collected over time, she accounted for the media planning of a multi-million euro budget from a well-known automotive manufacturer in her last position. Her great sense of responsibility, analytical skills and ability to work in a team proved to be extremely helpful. Together with her team, she faced different challenges and immersed herself in the field of online marketing. It is particularly in this area of expertise that topics like big data, social media or content marketing are constantly changing and therefore give new impulses to the whole industry. Dagmar wants to utilize these and many other kinds of experiences to advance Timmermann Partners in terms of brand awareness and positioning.

In her free time, Dagmar prefers to be active in the fresh air with her friends: during the week she enjoys jogging or doing so-called boot camps; on the weekends she loves hiking, mountain climbing, cross country skiing, stand-up paddling or just going for a walk.

From the very beginning Nicolas was shaped by his ambition and interest in new things: Not only in sport, where he practised volleyball, squash, golf and spike ball in addition to his 15 years in a soccer club, but also by travelling through new cultures. It is particularly important for him to gain authentic experiences - classic city trips and visiting tourist hotspots are thus further down on his travel agenda.

During his studies at the Management Center Innsbruck he discovered his passion for change management and marketing. This newly discovered passion, combined with his ability to authentically and empathetically respond to people, always affirms him to develop himself further as well as to motivate others to change.

When dealing with others, Nicolas therefore responds very straightforwardly to their needs and, if necessary, places them before his own. This strength has helped him to find client- and people-oriented solutions, especially as a project manager for two non-profit organizations and during his community service working with homeless people.

As a balance, time with his family is very important to him: from sailing trips to sporting activities to escape rooms - he does as much as possible with his parents and his two brothers.

Empathy, passion and curiosity characterize Constanze. Only those who understand people's interests, motivations and goals are capable of creating relevant content for them. It is therefore particularly important to her to put herself in other people’s shoes.

Her many years of experience in copywriting began with the winning of a copywriting competition held by the agency group Scholz & Friends. She completed these tasks during the moderation breaks at BAUMA. There she presented a concrete mixer which she still enthuses about today. She finds creative potential in all her surroundings. All you have to do is recognise it. When Constanze enters a room, you have to reckon with her first thought being how to redesign it. At the beginning of her career, her distinct sense of aesthetics led her into the luxury fashion industry. She defines genuine luxury as a symbiosis of timeless style, exquisite quality and noble restraint. Or as the possibility to leave the house with wet hair and letting it dry from the wind and the morning sun. She gets her inspiration in different ways - whether in the great outdoors or by listening to Italian opera arias, which she enjoys, to the delight of her colleagues, through headphones.

In her spare time she likes to play the fastest ball sport in the world: table tennis. The nimble rallies train her physical and mental reactions. Regular tennis is not one of her strengths. She is still firmly convinced that the trophy she once won at a tennis tournament went to her by mistake.

Professional background & education

Although Irma had always seen her strengths and interests in creative and interpersonal areas, her path led her first to the University of Augsburg for a degree in business administration. There she immediately joined the student consultancy Junior Management Spektrum to gain her first relevant experience in the consulting environment.

When she was elected to the board of directors for Human Resources, she quickly had to face many challenges. Here she gained intensive insights into the topic of management consulting. She was even able to live out her passion for marketing, as one of her main tasks was to develop and implement a marketing strategy to recruit new members. Here she was able to give free play to her creativity, starting with the design of flyers, social media, the presentation at a small trade fair, up to the organization of an information evening.

Together with the board of directors, she also developed a completely new CI for the association with a new logo, new website, new slide master and the introduction of new association structures.

The change to the university in her hometown Munich, led her to Timmermann. There she is particularly enthusiastic about the many opportunities for professional and personal development.

During semester breaks she loves to travel and to get to know and understand people from other countries better. In Munich she likes to spend her time in the gym and pursue her passion for cooking and baking. Time with friends and family is also very important to her.

What is important to Carmen is a really good community. In order to broaden her horizons and take in other perspectives, she learned foreign languages in her youth and immersed herself in a new culture in Andalusia as an au-pair after graduating from high school. Afterwards she focused on questions of economic and ecological sustainability. For this purpose she studied "Business Administration-Food Management" and gained practical experience as assistant to the management in a small food company, which was restructured during this time.

Here she dedicated herself to cultural and team development, among other things.
Now she is looking forward to using this experience to support her colleagues at Timmermann Partners so that they can accompany effective change processes as effectively as possible.

For Nelly it is very important to stay true to herself and to go her own way. Her Christian faith supports and motivates her to understand the world a little bit better and to find meaning in it.

Viviana prefers to swim at the point where calmness and movement flow into one another. As an ethnologist, the current pulled her to Tibet, Turkey and Tuscany – and still her goal remained the same: To understand what really drives people.

Besides her academic search for the core of culture, Viviana is interested in the daily life of people. With the sensitivity of an ethnologist and her ability to also take an business perspective, she matched prospective employees with employers during her time at nexpera. Already during her time at university, she started to accumulate in-depth knowledge on diversity management and how companies can live diversity in their daily operations.

At the same time, Viviana was involved in several NGOs, working on political, social, and ecological issues. She excels at questioning standard procedures by bringing in a new and unconventional perspective, e.g., by organizing roleplays to take on the role of cacao farmers in order to assist them.

At Timmermann Partners, Viviana now helps the company to be flexible and stable at the same time, by working in HR and marketing. Here she helps potential employees on their journey to the beautiful Timmermann Campus.

Her creativity also shows outside of Timmermann, then in the form of her own novel, when playing her (brand new) piano or in colorful painting sessions.

Professional background & education

• Master in Ethnology and Intercultural Communication
• Work experience in recruiting at nexpera
• HR internship at Timmermann Partners
• Several internships at NGOs (among others: WWF UK, in the North South Forum Munich and the Freispiel culture agency)

These events enabled Chiara to broaden her horizons. At the Timmermann Group she would like to contribute her knowledge and experience and expand it with the help of the team.

What fascinates Chiara about the Timmermann Group above all is the distinctive feedback culture and the open and cordial cooperation. She is also enthusiastic about the agile way she works, which is not only reflected in changing workplaces.

Chiara does not shy away from challenges in her private life either and enjoys trying out new sports - from volleyball and hiking to scuba diving. She enjoys spending time with friends, family and family dog Buddy. Chiara finds relaxation with a cup of tea and a good book or a baking show.

What defines and shapes a person’s character? How does he justify his actions? Looking for answers regarding the development of personality, Annika starts her psychology studies at the University of Regensburg. As student assistant, she focuses on handling emotions and does not only dive deeper into her own personality but into the personality of people close to her. Her desire to evolve and challenge herself by making new experiences brings Annika to Timmermann Partners. The professional training, the company culture as well as the interpersonal dealings are just a few of many reasons why Timmermann Partners was the best choice for her. As part of the HR team, she wants to learn how to get the right impression of a candidate fast and efficiently in order to accelerate recruiting processes.

In Annika’s free time, music is an important factor. Whether in the choir, in a Capella ensemble or with a guitar at a bonfire, making music brings people together, creates beautiful sounds and most importantly brings joy(, fun) and happiness. To get to know other cultures, travelling is another important part of Annika’s life. Brazil, Sri Lanka and Tanzania were the last adventures she took around the globe. Back home in Amberg, she enjoys experimenting in the kitchen together with her friends as well as taking a peaceful walk in the forest.

Helena is convinced that a person can only grow if he or she faces new challenges. This is the reason why she dedicated herself to give German lessons to refugees during her Bachelor studies. Furthermore, she became head of marketing and chairwoman of the student consultancy association Consulting Team Kassel of her university. Always eager to learn, she works with heart and soul on every project. During her year abroad in Ireland as Au pair, she assumed big responsibilities since she was in charge of three boys in the age of two to seven years. Also, she learned to assert herself in the right moments and to work independently.

It has always been important to her to gain as much work and life experience as possible. During her work in the Consulting Team, she developed a new marketing concept for the association and worked in different consulting projects for various companies. Further internships and experiences as working student have enriched her marketing knowledge and competencies. During her work in a Start-up, she learned to adapt herself to the fast pacing entrepreneurial world and developed considerable problem-solving skills. Now she is eager to join the Timmermann Partners team as Junior consultant and Marketing Intern and to expand her competencies. She is certain that she will learn a lot from this new challenge.

Besides her passion for new culinary experiences, she gets enthusiastic about languages. Despite her full timetable, she constantly tries to learn new languages and is therefore ready to get involved with new cultures.

Having many interests at the same time can sometimes be a challenge – but Sarah is happy to accept it. It has always been exciting for her to try out different things, to break new ground and to broaden her own horizon. However, it was always important for her to remain true to herself and to trust in her own strengths. Sarah is rarely found in a bad mood. She is good at putting herself in other people's shoes, likes to give advice or constructive feedback, but also listens when her counterpart needs it at that moment.
In addition to her passion for literature and her creativity in writing poems, texts and essays, Sarah developed a great passion for the English language during her school years. Immediately after graduating from high school, she began her Bachelor's degree in English and American Studies at the University of Innsbruck. After one year she switched to the teacher’s program, as explaining and passing on knowledge has always been one of Sarah's strengths. In the winter semester of 2019, she completed a semester abroad in Nottingham, which gave her a lot of new experiences, both linguistically and personally. In the spring of 2020, Sarah changed her studies again and returned to her original plan, Bachelor of English and American Studies.
While still at school, Sarah gave regular English tutoring, which enhanced her ability to find solutions to problems and give feedback when things did not work out for her students. During her studies, she also did translations, among others for a winery in South Tyrol, and corrected English historical articles by lecturers at the University of Innsbruck. Furthermore, she supported a lecturer as a student assistant in the organization and realization of a two-day international congress with the title "Slavery Past Present and Future" in Innsbruck.
In her new position as a working student in the content department of Timmermann Partners, Sarah is now getting to know a lot of new things that she has not been involved with before. However, it is extremely important for her to gain experience in many areas and to be open for new impressions. Her quick comprehension and the ability to get excited about things are positive qualities with which Sarah can also contribute and maybe even make a difference.
Sarah is also very versatile when it comes to her hobbies: she likes to design birthday and Christmas cards, write stories, cook, bake, or read. But she really has lost her heart to music. She started singing at family celebrations with her mum at an early age and taught herself to play the guitar and piano to accompany herself. By singing in several choirs and in a vocal ensemble, she was able to express her love for music, be it Renaissance, Romantic or Modern, and was even allowed to gain experience briefly as a choir conductor. On choir trips, but also privately with her family or boyfriend, Sarah has already discovered some beautiful spots on this earth - and many more are on her list.

Tamara believes that employee satisfaction and working together as a team are key factors for a successful working environment. Investing in those factors is a win-win for everyone – driving up happiness and profit at the same time.

Out of the urge to truly understand the underlying human factors that drive or oppose change, Tamara started studying psychology several years ago. She expanded the theoretical knowledge gained there, through intensive practical experience, among others in headhunting. There she learned to empathically interact with diverse personalities, truly understand their underlying needs, and to bring them into line with the offers of clients, using her natural talent for improvising on the spot.

Tamara's curiosity is not limited to lectures in psychology - she sees the whole world as her lecture hall. The chance to grow beyond her own limits and to learn from the voices of foreign cultures has always driven her to travel the world, to more than 20 countries so far. Starting in Sri Lanka to find her own roots, up to her last trip to Iraq, her focus lies on the hidden stories of the local people. For Tamara these stories are not only personally enriching, but also show her again and again how different the view of life can be.

Professional background & education:

• Bachelor in Psychology at Justus Liebig University, Gießen
• Working Student at Alexander Hughes Headhunting, Frankfurt
• Internship Controlling at WISAG AG Stuttgart
• Trained as a businesswoman for accounting and controlling

Out of interest in the big essential questions - How do humans function? How do emotions arise and how does memory work? - Leonie decided to study psychology. Her comprehensive curiosity about research was satisfied during her work as a scientific assistant as well as while carrying out psychological experiments. Far from the big theories, Leonie is also enthusiastic about practice: "How does a team work and how can work processes be simplified? In search of answers, she discovered the Timmermann Group and now strengthens the team as a working student. She is fascinated by solving complex problems through simple approaches. Leonie's acquired her pronounced "hands-on mentality" during her one-year "weltwärts" voluntary service in India. With great dedication and interest, she integrated herself into a new culture and taught English at the Don Bosco College of Arts and Sciences for one year.

Whether boulder hall or mountain: Climbing is Leonie's passion. She finds new challenges not only professionally but also privately quite exciting and hence enjoys learning new instruments - currently guitar and ukulele!

Timmermännchen is known for his desire of climbing and exploring new adventures, which enables him to reach the highest peaks of the birch trees in the woods of the Timmermann Campus. His pursuit of the highest goals – in the literal sense – is a regular inspiration for the entire Timmermann Partners team. Additionally, he creates a cheerful atmosphere with his cheeky, lively manner. Prior to his time at Timmermann Partners, the other animals in the garden profited from his rich experience as a climbing artist and his ability to spread a good mood. Because of his very personal experience, Timmermännchen is convinced that outdoor training in a high rope course should be part of any change process – because only those who leave their comfort zone can reach the highest goals.  When Timmermännchen is not busy supporting Timmermann Partners’ clients and consultants in change processes, you can find him hibernating in its nest. There he crackles hard nuts and enjoys its raw contents.

Professional Background and Education

• Certified Outdoor-Survival-Expert
