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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Luisa sees change as an opportunity for growth - on a personal but also on an organizational level. She is convinced that change, with the right support, can always mean development and wants to help companies to take advantage of current and future changes. As a psychologist, she puts people and the dynamics between them in the foreground and thus creates change that simultaneously moves the entire organization and personally advances those involved.
During her studies, Luisa was already concerned with how people and organizations can change for the better in the long term and how they can best be helped to do so. With this knowledge, she has already been able to support many companies of different sizes, industries and corporate cultures in change projects. At Timmermann Partners, she has found the right position to holistically accompany changes with psychological knowledge within the framework of Consulting 2.0.
Luisa finds her balance in yoga. The connection between body, mind and soul helps her to find herself and not to forget the lightness and light-heartedness of a moment even in stressful situations. If there is no yoga mat at hand, a glass of good Würzburg wine can also help.

Learning to understand human behavior has always fascinated Lukas. Traveling around the globe with his family, he had the opportunity to experience this in very different cultures at an early age. In the process, he became convinced that every human being has the potential and motivation to grow. And so the desire arose in him to be a cosmopolitan activator for development.
In order to fulfill this role, he studied psychology. In doing so, he focused on the interactions between people. During his school and university years, he supported the development of people, especially in the sporting field as a canoe slalom coach and snowboard instructor in their development. His training as a career coach then enabled him to help people advance on their personal paths in other areas as well. At Timmermann Partners, he discovered his next field of development with Consulting 2.0: helping people approach development and change processes to their advantage.

Gerti is the colorful company bird... Actually, she has been retired for several years. But if you still have so much fun at work, plus a wealth of experience and would like to pass it on, then you don't stay at home and learn pottery!
Gerti always wanted to work in advertising (that's what it was called back then...) and has spent about three quarters of her working life in advertising agencies or in-house agencies of large companies in various industries.

With wanderlust and homesickness frequently taking turns, Laelia knows how to avoid stillstand and while doing so, she discovered her passion for communication, intercultural exchange and for a deep understanding of foreign mentalities. This combination led her in the end to study International Business Communication.

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.

Profile

As the son of a psychologist and an economist, these two worlds unite in Philip's interests. That's why he fulfilled his dream of studying business psychology in picturesque Lüneburg. He was able to immediately put what he had learned to use as a member of the student consultancy.

Philip is fascinated by the constant interactions between people and the organizations in which they live and work together. He is highly motivated to participate in these constant processes and to decisively drive them forward in a positive way. His goal is to shape organizations in such a way that living and working in them becomes more efficient, more positive, and thus more profitable for all parties. He is convinced that previously unthinkable things are suddenly possible when committed and smart people come together in a well-organized way. And that is exactly what he finds at the Timmermann Group.

Other people and foreign cultures fascinate Philip. His curiosity has therefore already sent him halfway around the world - from Africa to Australia. On his travels, he has learned to value the most diverse forms of cooperation and life.

Philip prefers to spend his free time doing sports, meeting friends, spending time with family and broadening his knowledge. In Munich, his heart is set on sports. He loves hiking, skiing, and mountain biking in the majestic mountains. When he is not on tour, he can be found socializing with family and friends. He enjoys quiet hours with an educational book or in meditation.

Professional background & education

• Bachelor in Psychology with focus on Business Psychology, Leuphana University Lüneburg (ongoing)
• Student management consultant at Contact & Cooperation Lüneburg
• Working student at Ischebeck Consulting (Training & Coaching)

Profile

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.
