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.

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.

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.

Privately, Mariola is an enthusiastic sailor and prides herself in combining a demanding job and a fulfilling family life.

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.

Anja prefers to spend her leisure time outdoor doing sports in the fresh air or to creatively work with her sewing machine.

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.

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
• Founder of several national and international universities
• More than 10 years of experience in the conception and development of education and training programs
• Graduate Commercial Teacher, Saarland University, Saarbrücken

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.

Romina is convinced of lifelong learning and, as a result, she always faces new challenges and follows her curiosity. Her motivation to study Media Management stems from this attitude towards life. By studying a broad combination of economy, technology and design, she gained far-ranging knowledge, learned to recognize complex connections and solve problems creatively.

Whether setting off into the wild or going to the sea – when Romina is seized by wanderlust, she travels mostly to where the sun can be found. On her travels, she particularly enjoys meeting different people from all over the world and getting to know their culture and rituals. Every day, she realizes how valuable these experiences are for her. Or as she likes to put it: new perspectives always open up new doors, behind which exciting challenges can be found.

On her travels, she also discovered her passion for Latin American dances. If Romina does not hit the dance floor in her spare time, she finds her balance doing other sports, preferably outdoors. In addition, she likes having family and friends around.

At Timmermann Partners, she is thrilled to work in an inspiring team and a trusting atmosphere. Here she can develop her ideas and boldly discover new paths.

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.

Teresa is a passionate baker and cook and is always motivated to try out new creations. She loves the company of people who enthusiastically engage in a common cause and has been singing in choirs since childhood. In winter you can find Teresa skiing in the mountains as often as possible.

Simon realized very early that he wanted to help people to feel comfortable in their working environment. He sees one of the biggest challenges in today's world of work in the constant change and dealing with it. Therefore, it is particularly important to Simon to learn and apply ways and methods that help people to respond positively to this change.

Matthias already knew in the tenth grade that the interface between business administration and psychology should smooth his professional path. During his master's degree in psychology, he was particularly interested in change management and accompanying people in their personal and professional change. Out of this passion Matthias founded a company together with two fellow students, with which he successfully conducted workshops and evaluations in the change environment. With these first inspiring experiences in his pocket, he then decided on the varied and exciting environment of management consulting as his career entry.

With a focus on open, sincere and efficient cooperation at eye level, Matthias now brings his energy, hands-on approach and remarkable motivation to the Timmermann Partners team as a consultant.

To find a balance, Matthias is currently training for his next half marathon and is working on new wooden projects. He likes to travel, cook and just like you would expect from a proud Palatinate, drink a good glass of wine,

For Jakob, the contact with people and cooperation at eye level are the most important things. In order to make this cooperation as effective as possible, he decided to study psychology at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. During his studies Jakob realized that working together and developing together are closely linked. In order to find an answer to the question "How can I help others in their personal development?", he focused his studies on the field of positive psychology. During his internship at a university innovation and start-up consulting firm, Jakob’s interest in change management consulting aroused.

The approach of Timmermann Partners to see people as the focus of the change process and to help them in their personal development convinced Jakob to gain experience as a junior consultant.

For Jakob, training in the gym is the perfect balance to everyday life. On the weekend, he takes his motorbike to the Odenwald and hunts for curves. Or you can find him as a loyal fan of his home club on the edge of a soccer pitch.

Philipp loves to think about great questions of life. His studies in electrical power engineering and politics were inspired above all by his interest in ecological sustainability and the associated challenges of social coexistence. How do we manage to transform ourselves into a society that can live in harmony with nature and among each other? For Philipp, an essential part of the answer is already in the question: we are in a change process that is saturated with technical questions, social problems and personal challenges. The harmonisation of these three strands is the core task of our society and of each individual. Companies in particular have a great social and ecological responsibility to help drive this change forward.

The approach of the Timmermann Group to place heart and mind at the center of the change process fascinated and convinced Philipp from the very first second. Since then he has supported the team with his curiosity and willingness to learn, his logical thinking, his intercultural skills and his interdisciplinary experience.

In his spare time Philipp likes to be carried away to any kind of movement. Sometimes he can be found on the mountain bike, now and then on the tennis court, as well as on weekends in the sports hall or in the mountains. Music has been an important part of his life since childhood. What others find in cross-legged meditation, he finds when he plays the piano like in trance. Whereas playing the guitar and singing, he prefers doing in company.

Learning and trying out new things is an important part of a happy life for Chiara. With curiosity she tries to face new experiences and challenges.

She likes to test her limits. A semester abroad in New Zealand and a subsequent two-month trip through Southeast Asia were important steps on her personal development journey. 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.

People and their individual life stories are an important area of interest for Isabel. What drives people", "What makes them what they are today" are central questions that always occupy Isabel. She is also often inspired and enriched by encounters with people from different backgrounds. Furthermore, the examination of philosophy and meditation has accompanied her life from an early age.

Professionally this passion was satisfied by the multi-layered topic of health. Here she focused on neurology as well as psychology. During a stay abroad during her master studies (Health Science) in Australia, she encountered the topic of change management for the first time. The theoretical basis was thus laid and the interest in change processes was awakened...

At Timmermann she is particularly enthusiastic about the respectful and honest way of dealing with each other in the company. What is taught is lived, and authenticity is not just an empty slogan. In the spirit of health promotion, Isabel wants her existence to help people make the best possible use of their resources in change. Her idealistic mission is to allow as many people as possible to outgrow themselves in a respectful corporate environment.

Isabel's leisure time is characterized by nature experiences or social evenings with friends. She also loves to travel and immerse herself in foreign cultures. Isabel is also very fond of movement and touch: she loves to dance and has a Balinese massage background. In addition to all the hustle and bustle, she also enjoys going into tranquillity in the form of meditation.

During his voluntary social year in an affiliated medical clinic, Hendrik discovered the joy of working with other people. He particularly enjoyed accompanying and supporting patients during their process of change and recovery. Inspired by this experience, he decided to study psychology at the University of Ulm. There he initially focused on a clinical-psychological focus. In various internships, Hendrik gained an insight into how teamwork enables positive change and development for patients with a wide variety of diseases. He also developed an awareness for questioning prejudices and approaching new tasks and problems with an open attitude. In order to expand his personal wealth of experience and to get to know change processes in a different context, he decided to do an internship at Timmermann Partners. As a junior consultant he now collects new impressions and ideas and supports the consultants in their daily work with clients. The approach of combining seriousness and humour in an appropriate way in order to facilitate an optimal change was particularly eye-catching for him.

As a balance to everyday life, Hendrik likes to go swimming, running or weight training, depending on his mood. In order to round off the everyday life perfectly, a little music making may not be missing thereby.

For many years Natalie has been concerned with creating change and supporting others in this process. As a member of the Queer Department of the LMU during her studies, she was already actively involved in shaping university life and was also involved in social organisations in her spare time. She has always had a great urge to stand up for social justice and the positive evaluation of human differences.

During her studies of ethnology in bachelor's and global studies in master's degrees, she focused on diversity and social structures. Inspired by this, she decided to work for two years as a teacher at a secondary school in Vienna and to work for educational justice. In the accompanying leadership training she was given valuable tools that enabled her to initiate real change in the education system. So Natalie organized her own little change project at her school, where she promoted the debate about diversity. In order to be able to support others in their development, Natalie completed an education as a systemically integrative consultant and coach, as well as a trainer in adult education.

Especially the approach to combine change management expertise with an open learning community motivated Natalie to do an internship at Timmermann Partners. In her opinion, the resulting working atmosphere offers an excellent basis for gaining even more intensive experience in the field of change management.

In order to not only stretch her mind but also her body, Natalie regularly does yoga and goes hiking in the mountains. Designing her home is another project to which she dedicates her free time with enthusiasm.

Change can feel unpleasant at first, but it can also make you proud when you master it. Lea experienced this herself during her stays abroad. For her, growth begins with consciously leaving her comfort zone. That's why she always tries to enter new situations. For example, Lea decided to travel to India rather than to her favourite place, Bali, for yoga teacher training.

Lea studied economics and business psychology because she wanted to understand both. On the one hand, she wanted to learn how science models something as complex as the economy of an entire country at the macro level. On the other hand, she wanted to see how we people make decisions at the micro level and live together. During her studies, she volunteered as a mentor for first-year students and represented the concerns of her Master fellow students as a class representative.

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.

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.

Steffi is our organize talent at Timmermann. No challenge is big enough for her or frightens her.  She always tries to keep the overview and the necessary calm, even if sometimes her impatience and perfectionism can get in her way.

Steffi is very concerned about the well-being of her fellow human beings. A good working atmosphere and human togetherness are very important to her, especially for her own well-being. A little bit of humor must never be missed with her.

After her high school diploma and her training as an industrial clerk, Stefanie worked for 10 years in a medium-sized wood processing company in Rhineland-Palatinate. Since her workplace was the only fixed office workplace in the company, she quickly developed into an all-rounder and this quickly adopted her solution-oriented working style.

But her heart had always beaten for Bavaria and specially for the Munich area. So she put everything on one card, applied and finally moved to Munich. That was almost 5 years ago and Steffi still describes this step as the most important and valuable in her life so far.

After Steffi was looking for a new, professional challenge, she found the job advertisement at Timmermann, which seemed to be almost tailored to her personally, and fell in love with this special flair of unusual collegiality, working spirit and openness during her trial work.

Stefanie is a very animal-loving person. She herself owns 3 cats, which give her the necessary rest and the necessary balance to the working day in stressful situations. Her affection for the four-legged friends also led Steffi to work every Saturday at an veterinary clinic in the north of Munich at the reception desk and to help pet owners with her calming nature.

Privately Steffi definitely has petrol in her blood. She likes to spend her free time with all kinds of motor sports. She loves to be live at a car race, or to make the race tracks unsafe with her own car.

Professional background & education:

• Technical high school diploma at Thomas Morus Gymnasium Daun (RLP)
• Training as industrial clerk at the company Heege Freizeitparktechnik
• Many years of professional experience as management assistant in various companies
• Most recently Assistant to the Management Board of an European automotive service provider at Munich Airport
• Part-time work in an animal clinic in Munich

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)

Creativity and curiosity as well as authenticity and structuredness – these qualities is what Nicola stands for. She is a passionate problem-solver: “Never say never”. Therefore, she is not only constantly working on her professional but also her personal competencies. Due to her open-minded personality, she is constantly interacting with different personalities and cultures, which in turn helps her seeing things from different perspectives.

Recognizing the needs of the people around her and reacting emphatically to them, is one of Nicolas strongest suits. She is always glad to help and to support people seeking for advice in a solution-focused manner, in that way she can strengthen her team both as a member and in a leadership position.

During her studies she was able to collect a lot of experience as project leader in cooperation with several companies. For her master thesis she dealt intensively with the topic of marketing strategies development and developed a “go-to-market” strategy for the company Sony DADC in Europe. During this collaboration, she discovered her passion for the consulting business.

As Marketing Specialist at Timmermann Partners she can now combine her theoretical knowledge with her creativity and incorporate her expertise in many different projects.

Nicola devotes her private life mainly to music. As front singer of a band, solo artist and member of a musical ensemble, no stage is safe from her. Fun-fact: In 2015 she stood on the podium as Austria's third best karaoke singer.

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.

Music has always been a close companion in Aldin’s life. When he was three years old, he discovered his first music sheets, fell in love with them and started playing the accordion at the age of six. Through the world of music, he gained insights into various cultures and traditions. Just as there is no musician who makes no mistakes throughout a concert, there also is no human on earth, who is never wrong. The important lesson is to learn from these mistakes.

Aldin is very good at dealing with stressful and agitated situations as well as working hand in hand with others.

One year ago he moved to Munich which led to great change in his life. His eagerness to learn and to experience new things encouraged him to explore this different path by improving his German skills quickly and playing an active part in the unique learning community at Timmermann Partners.

Aldin also enjoys playing soccer and watching movies. To relax, he also likes to go for a hike in the mountains. Spending time with his family is very important to him, too.

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.

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.

Constant change and great curiosity have accompanied Klaudia since early childhood. At the age of five she emigrated with her mother from her home country Poland to Germany. Now Klaudia had to find her way in a country that was completely foreign to her at that time, with foreign people and a foreign language. This personal change was the prelude for many other changes in her life.

Professionally, it is always very important for Klaudia to pursue an activity that is full of variety and change. Equipped with a great interest in people and communication, she decided to train as a bank clerk after her high school graduation. She found advising people in financial matters particularly exciting. In order to gain even more knowledge in the areas of communication and economics, she decided to study communication science, business administration and politics after her apprenticeship. Her studies increased her desire for a job that would cover both her interest in people and in business.

Therefore Klaudia decided to start an internship in the HR department of Timmermann Partners. She not only likes the tasks themselves, she also appreciates the cordial and respectful cooperation between colleagues.

Changes and active action also play a major role in Klaudia's free time. She plays theatre at the Naturbühne Trebgast in Upper Franconia and is passionate about slipping into different roles.

A voluntary social year as a sports and swimming instructor was Jakob's first stop in the area of personality development. Jakob found it enriching to work with people, especially children from a wide variety of backgrounds. Until now, this has had a great influence on his further career path and trained him in empathy, patience, tolerance, team play, curiosity and perseverance.

With the subsequent apprenticeship as a technical product designer in the automotive sector, Jakob combined his technical interest with the desire to design and create something new. He learned how to construct efficiently and with foresight, to design creatively and to always keep an eye on the big picture while adhering to various quality criteria.

In his studies of technical communication and editing, Jakob closed the circle between technology, design and working with and for people. In UX and UI design, Jakob found a vocation via detours that could perfectly harmonize his strengths - technology, logic, design, creativity and empathy. Always with the goal of creating an application that offers every user a comfortable and intuitive user interface and experience.

On weekends Jakob helps his grandfather with the care of his orchards and vegetable gardens. Or he can join his long-time friends in various team sports or on the ski slope.

With joy and commitment he is now able to contribute his experiences and impressions in the field of change management to the Timmermann Group.

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

Leonie believes that in transformation lies the foundation to unexpected possibilities for both personal development as well as change processes in organisations. Fascinated by this, she put a focus on organisational development, theories of change management, consultancy and human resources management within her studies of pedagogy.

In order to experience the theoretically acquired content, she started working as a student consultant while studying for her Master’s degree in „Pedagogy with a focus on organisational development”.

Besides her professional interests, Leonie loves to design rooms through creating a cozy atmosphere, using brushes and colors or sewing fancy pillows. One thing that gives her the thrills (in a positive way) is reading exciting crime thrillers. When she wants to relax, she takes advantage of living close by the sea, takes her car to the beach, enjoys the breeze of the wind and listens to the sound of the waves.

• Semester abroad at the University of Limerick (Ireland)

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
• Practical experience at Timmermann Partners as mascot
