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.

Logic or intuition? Hard as nails or soft as butter? Numbers, data, facts or empathy? Yes please, and everything in between: Sarah combines many seemingly contradictory facets and skillfully moves between the poles of analytical and associative thinking.
Sarah's thirst for knowledge and her urge to understand "what holds the world together at its innermost core" initially led her into the world of physics. For years, she studied the properties and interactions of the smallest building blocks of our matter. Even today, she raves with infectious enthusiasm about quantum mechanical paradoxes and their implications for our metaphysical understanding of the world. But Sarah's curiosity could not be limited to one research subject, and she lacked a direct connection to people and society. So a few years ago, she was drawn to management consulting. At one of the leading boutique consultancies for complex organizational change in the chemical and process industries, she learned the ropes as a consultant and discovered her passion for change management. In Timmermann Partners, Sarah has found a home for all her facets.
Sarah is a passionate diver. Whether with or without compressed air equipment, whether summer or winter, whether quarry pond or coral reef - under water she comes to rest and recharges her batteries. In freediving, Sarah dives as far or as deep as she can with just one lungful of air. It is important to keep your nerves and save energy even when things get tight. That is, not to waste valuable oxygen by unnecessary hectic. This is a principle that Sarah also tries to apply to her everyday life.

Professional Background and Education

• Physics studies and doctorate in theoretical quantum electrodynamics in Heidelberg
• Six years as research associate at the Max Planck Institute
• Six and a half years of consulting experience at 3con Management Consultants GmbH

With 15 years of leadership experience, and dozens of managers she has accompanied and coached, the most important experience remains for Regina: Successful leadership puts people at the center.

Regina is a team specialist with great methodological competence, from 3 to 300 people, from kick-off to conflict mediation in difficult times. Clients appreciate Regina's openness and friendliness, combined with a great deal of tact in solving tricky situations.

With her cheerful, engaging manner, Regina radiates an infectious optimism. She takes people with their problems seriously and encourages them to tackle possible solutions in a concrete way and to shape their (working) environment themselves.

What she says, she lives. Regina made her first leadership experience at the age of 17, at 26 she took over the family business and developed it into a successful provider of outdoor teambuilding. This time shaped her personality: In addition to leading her own team, she was responsible for ensuring that thousands of customers returned from all outdoor activities happy and, above all, safe and sound.

After years as a freelance trainer and coach, Regina has found a team at Timmermann Partners with which she can implement large and intensive change projects for clients.

Regina grew up in the Bavarian mountains and returned there after stops in Ireland, Kenya and Switzerland. She loves outdoor activities: kayaking, mountaineering, climbing and skiing. There is always a lot going on in her family of five with three daughters. At the same time, she is reminded daily of what is really important in life: Love and food.

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.

Experiencing art is one thing - but developing creations in such a way that a living brand emerges from it always excites, inspires, and motivates Micha.

With over 20 years of experience as an art and creative director, he is passionately responsible for the design of both digital and analog communication measures and ensures a consistent brand presence across all media and channels.

His incentive is to develop consistent and innovative design concepts, which are then reflected in all communication measures as a strategically effective platform, and thereby create the balance of recognition and surprise.

Micha started his career as an art director at global advertising agencies such as Jung von Matt and deepblue networks. There, his main focus was on accounts in the automotive industry. This involved new brand appearances, image campaigns, film/photo shoots and CRM measures.

After that, he moved into the freelance lane to enjoy a broader spectrum of different clients and projects. This was reflected among other things in projects for ŠKODA AUTO with more than 250 individualized direct marketing measures for online and offline use, but also in start-ups with their complete brand presence.

Micha’s creative impulse is also reflected in his free time. Discovering new things on his travels, experiencing new cultures, always with a special focus on design, art, and culture. Street Art and Urban Art starts outside your door, especially in St. Pauli, which he likes to live out with his own pictures.

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.

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.

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.

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:

• Editor-in-chief and copywriter for fashion and design companies such as Westwing and Mytheresa
• Moderator for company events, expert talks, trade fairs and on TV
• Foundation of the content consultancy muenchentexter.com
• Further training in "Management of Fashion and Luxury Companies" at the Università di Bocconi

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
