Jan Thielscher

During the last 20 years I was able to support many of the DAX 30 customers from the financial services, retail, logistics and hospitality industries as well as industrial and medical production.

I am a good sparring partner for ideas and concepts. Even more I like to take the responsibility for the delivery of such ideas. My strong analytical capability allows me to reveal even complex situations pretty fast. The insights from the studies in the fields of business, technology and law allow me to identify and judge business opportunities in a unique manner. Combined with some diplomatic skill and a respectful appearance, this makes me a well respected trouble shooter and negotiator.
