Growing up in a family with roots in the East, communication across borders was experienced early on. English, French and Spanish are everyday. At the universities of Saarbrücken, Munich and Göttingen, the focus was on marketing and corporate management. Early management responsibility for the development and restructuring of divisions in well-known medium-sized branded goods companies have formed the base for independent consulting and management activities under the name HOLLMANN & CONSULT to this day. At the same time, there is a long-term senior-partnership to Dr. Brüggemann GmbH Consultancy & Development in Berlin. The focus is on non-performing loans for the risk management of banks. Many years of experience and knowledge support the differentiated SWOT analysis and research have built the base for research and search for succession in SME - as companies or MBI candidates.
