Michael Timmermann

Founder & CEO

Profile

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

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

Having spent a total of two years in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, he still loves to travel today – preferably to places he can explore through climbing or diving. 

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

Bernd Witzany

Chief Operating Officer

Profile

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

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

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

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

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

Professional Background & Education: 

• Over 25 years of professional experience in consulting and on the client side 
• Diploma in Economics from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich with a focus on Game Theory, Monetary Policy, and Economic History

Lukas Bargel

Project Leader, Agile Coach

Profile

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

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

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

• Master of Science in Economics, Humboldt University Berlin 
• Bachelor in Political Science, University of Erfurt 
• Practical experience at "Magic Gorilla Coaching" in the areas of career, leadership, and business coaching

Anna Lossmann

Head of Marketing & Sales

Profile

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

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

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

Professional Background & Education: 

• MA Translation, University of Bristol 
• BSc Psychology, University of London

Stefan Kießling

Project Leader

Profile

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

To explore and understand his own values, Stefan began his academic journey with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Social Sciences in Bielefeld. There, he was honored with the Deutschlandstipendium for gifted and engaged students. However, his specific interest in change processes and their diverse possibilities and pitfalls was sparked during his Master's studies in Philosophy and Business Administration in Copenhagen. There, he could academically examine the topic from various angles. 

Stefan found his time in the international student organization AIESEC particularly enriching, where he led the Bielefeld Local Committee and conducted various workshops and training sessions over the years. Additionally, he supported the marketing activities of the Fundación Ecosueños in Bogotá, Colombia, during a social internship, and gained practical experience in HR through an internship at the dalli group in Timişoara, Romania. Most recently, he collaborated with the non-governmental organization Oxfam IBIS in Copenhagen as an Innovation Consultant for his master's thesis. As part of field research, this even led him to Sierra Leone. 

In his free time, Stefan enjoys reading, playing strategy games (whether board, card, or computer games), practicing sports, learning languages, and traveling. His extensive experience in Mixed Martial Arts, in particular, has highlighted the importance of perseverance, fairness, and the pursuit of constant improvement. 

Professional Background & Education: 

• Master's studies in Philosophy & Business Administration in Copenhagen. 
• Bachelor's studies in Philosophy & Social Sciences in Bielefeld. 
• Years of involvement in the student organization AIESEC as a trainer, President of the Local Committee in Bielefeld, and HR consultant at the national level. 
• Social internship at the "Fundación Ecosueños" in Bogotá, Colombia.

Clara Radunsky

Project Leader

Profile

From the beginning of her professional career, Clara has been driven by the desire to enhance beauty and bring out the best in people. This originally brought her to the fine arts as an art historian, singer and cultural manager, for which her heart still beats - today in the form of the alma network. It is her endless curiosity and thirst for adventure that inspires her to make ongoing changes in her own life, and it is this mindset that she wants to pass on in her change management work and inspire in those around her, whether as a consultant, coach or trainer. She is convinced that by using individual strengths and values, changes become opportunities that everyone is invited to help shape. She has found fruitful ground for this vision in the Timmermann Group team.

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

Jan Ahrend

Agile Expertise Leader (Expert)

Profile 

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

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

Professional Background & Education: 

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

Sepp Baumeister

Head of Communication Creation

Profile

Sepp Baumeister likes to tell stories, and there is a reason for this: through storytelling, he can put events in retrospect into context that he regards as random or coincidental while they are happening. This ability also helps him to connect the zigzagging stages of his life, which are primarily characterized by curiosity and a thirst for adventure. A childhood spent on three continents (and one subcontinent), a degree in archaeology and folklore, professional stations ranging from the Bonn Rock Musicians' Association to Executive Creative Director and Head of Strategy in various agencies, starting a family and co-founding an NGO that helps street children in Nepal (Bbuildsupnepal, feel free to join) find their way back to their families. Each of these stages has something to do with real change, which is why he sought out and found Timmermann Partners. Here, as Head of Communication Creation, he helps organizations in transition to bring people and topics together. In his free time, he goes to the opera, builds things, and fixes everything, if you don't stop him. 

Professional Background & Education:

• Creative Director J.Walther Thompson
• Executive Creative Director Pepper Munich
• Creative Director Wunderman Munich
• Head of Strategy Embrace/Employer Branding
• Creative Director Concept Oddity
• Co-founder of Bbuildsupnepal 
• Studied Prehistory and Folklore at Julius Maximilian University Würzburg

Sebastian Hertlein

Product Owner, Senior Consultant

Profile

Even as a child, Sebastian talked about becoming an inventor. Exploring undiscovered paths continues to captivate Sebastian time and time again. Back then, he was often labeled as a dreamer. Today, he knows that even then, he had visions that he brought to life. 

This visionary inventive spirit, combined with an interest in digitization, opens up new areas of focus for Sebastian. He invests his motivation and energy into his ability to create new things and bring them to life. 

His affinity for the internet began in the late 90s. He found an ally back then in Michael Timmermann, supporting him in his first company, raba.tt gmbh. In search of new challenges, Sebastian has worked in various positions for numerous companies in the digital industry over the past years. 

Sebastian can look back on over 20 years of experience in online marketing. With his broad expertise, he actively contributes to Timmermann Partners.

 To find a good balance to work, Sebastian throws on his mountaineering gear and storms the peaks of the Alps. Mountain sports, for him, are not just a sport but an expression of freedom, focus on the moment, and a lot of fun. Sebastian documents his mountain experiences and shares them with his growing audience on YouTube.

Michael Boberach

Senior Consultant, Coach

Profile

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

For some time now, he has been deeply involved in the digital transformation and its impact on individuals and society, particularly how we will collaborate in the future. He early on internalized the central importance of learning for this, such as the competencies and mindset ("Future Skills") needed to navigate the digital age and rapid change successfully. 

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

To find balance and relaxation, he prefers excursions and travels with his family, walks and hikes in the Franconian Switzerland and elsewhere, and enjoys a delicious glass of beer, deep conversations, and good music with friends.

Lukas Christmann

Consultant, Agile Coach

Profile

Understanding human behavior has always fascinated Lukas. During travels around the globe with his family, he had the early opportunity to experience this in various cultures. This experience grew in him the conviction that every person has the potential and motivation to grow. Thus, the desire to be a globally open activator for development arose in him. 

To fulfill this role, he studied psychology, focusing on the interactions between people. During his school and university years, he promoted the development of individuals, especially in the sports field, as a canoe slalom coach and snowboard instructor. His training as a career coach enabled him to help people progress in various areas of their personal journey. At Timmermann Partners, he discovered his next field of development with Consultation 2.0: assisting people in approaching development and change processes to their advantage.

Understanding, truly understanding, has always been a driving force for Lorenz. During his business administration studies, he embarked on semesters abroad in Santa Barbara (USA) and St. Petersburg (RUS), as well as internships in Shanghai (China) and Basel/Zurich (CH).

Change, with the "Timmermann combination" of heart and mind, has captivated Lorenz since the first encounter. Here, he can bring his structured-analytical thinking and genuine interest in his fellow human beings. 

In his leisure time, Lorenz prefers to be in the mountains and by the water; essentially anywhere with a wide view and hiking opportunities. Additionally, Lorenz gathers strength through meditation, yoga, and engaging in various games.

Alexandra Oswald

Consultant

Profile

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

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

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

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

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

Professional Background & Education:

Clara Scheufler

Consultant

Profile 

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

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

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

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

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

Philip Ischebeck

Consultant

Profile 

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

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

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

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

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

Julian Kruszek

Junior Consultant

Profile 

Julian has a deep and honest interest in people and their relationships. On the one hand, this has a serious background, as he learnt to take on a lot of responsibility at an early age, both privately and professionally.

On the other hand, this interest stems from his motivation to inspire the people around him to not only solve their own challenges, but also to embrace them.

He does this by giving impulses and - quite impulsively - not mincing his words or even taking on the role of Advocatus Diaboli, as it is important for him to always look at things from all angles.

Because Julian has already gained experience in many industries and subject areas, he brings a wide range of ways of thinking and perspectives to the Timmermann team.

Julian spends his free time doing sport, reading or socialising with his friends and family. Weight training and basketball in particular provide Julian with a good balance. The positive quality of being able to enjoy the little things does the rest: sometimes it's enough to meet a dog, see a nice sports car drive past or even just discover a ray of sunshine first thing in the morning.

Anja Hengge

Team Assistant

Profile

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

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

Even in her free time, Anja prefers to be among people unless a new novel has her in its grip because Anja has certainly not given up on the world of books.

In his private life, he spends time with friends—whether by the Isar River, in a beer garden in summer, grilling, engaging in a communal game night, or other activities. Lively exchanges with like-minded individuals and those with different perspectives are just as important to him as personal time.

Damjir Gasparic

Janitor

Profile

While my freedom and independence are very important to me, responsibility and care are also tangible matters. As a single father of a son, I quickly learned that it's often the little things that keep things running smoothly. Even as a child, I tried to understand how things work and how to do them myself. I also enjoyed delving into complex topics – I soldered my first memory expansion at the age of 12, started my apprenticeship as an energy systems electronics technician at Deutsche Bahn at the age of 15, and satisfied my curiosity with layouts for circuit boards, switchgear, control technology, measurement technology, and much more. The 'why' phase in my life simply never stopped, and it certainly makes me an understanding dad. 

At Timmermann, I will live out my passion for taking care of things by ensuring that both the small and large aspects are always running smoothly and in order as a caretaker. And I'm always happy to answer any 'why' questions.

Professional Background & Education: 

• Apprenticeship as an Energy Systems Electronics Technician at Deutsche Bahn 
• IT solutions in medical technology and laser technology
• Service Technician for filling systems
• Construction manager and project assistant for telecommunications technology at Munich Airport

Timmermännchen

Senior Nutcracker

Profile

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

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

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

Professional Background & Education: 

• Certified Outdoor Survival Expert 
• Practical experience at Timmermann Partners as a mascot
