People know me as the man with 40 employees, 70 film awards, and 150 bow ties. Here’s how I became that man.

At the tender age of 11, I laid the foundation with my cinematic debut “The Ultimate Disaster Movie.” From then on, things only went uphill—shaky camera and trembling knees included.

Between improvised stages and my first cautious steps into the world of film, I built a network of artists and cultural creators. Over time, this network evolved into a creative team.

My documentary debut “Der Testfahrer” (“The Test Driver”), which won 25 awards, marked the end of my time as an experimental teenager and the beginning of my journey into the world of big business.

I proudly carry the title of winner of the German Youth Video Award, “Germany’s Best Young Director 2012.” Instead of choosing to study at university, I consciously decided to jump straight into the real world of film—without water wings, but with plenty of seahorse-level courage.

From passion to calling

That’s when Sons Of Motion Pictures GmbH was founded, with offices in Leipzig and Coburg.

With tireless dedication, we have produced commercial, documentary, and animated films—including projects for renowned companies such as:

• Warner Bros. 

• Microsoft 

• Daimler AG 

• Rotkäppchen-Mumm 

• RB Leipzig 

• Lufthansa 

• Deutsche Telekom 

• Siemens 

• BMW 

• A&O Hotels 

• Immowelt 

• KiKA 

Over time, our close-knit film family has grown to 45 full-time team members. Together we have won 60 film awards and continue turning creative visions into moving images.

In 2019, I was given the extraordinary honour of being appointed the youngest senator in Germany to the Bundeswirtschaftssenat des BVMW ( Germany’ largest Business association).

Upgrading my calling

My years as CEO showed me how valuable it is to combine knowledge and passion—and make them accessible to others. That’s how I discovered my second calling: keynote speaking.

With a wink and a clear focus on what truly matters, I now use my expertise to inspire those searching for new horizons—whether in marketing, recruiting, or leadership.

With over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience and more than 500 keynotes delivered, I’ve built up quite a repertoire.

And what about the bow ties?

They’re my trademark. Just like my keynotes, my clothing style is a bit unusual—it reflects my personality and extends my innovative approach.

By the way: besides appearing on stage, I’m active on LinkedIn, where I share my thoughts and experiences online. I also host the podcast “Feuer & Flamme” together with Nora Lob, which has already been subscribed to by over 500,000 listeners. Feel free to tune in!

When it comes to my keynotes, I’m a big fan of honesty, humour, and images that stay in your mind longer than gum stuck to the sidewalk.

Infotainment is my specialty. I bring information and entertainment together as if they were best friends.

So if you’re ready for a mix of expert knowledge, entertainment, and a healthy dose of unconventional spirit, then let’s rock the stage together and shake up the business world.

I offer a wide range of topics that will turn your perspectives upside down. From entertaining business comedy to modernizing marketing strategies with AI and TikTok, my keynotes deliver knowledge, humour, and practical insights for a successful future.

• Discover the secrets of AI for effective recruiting and marketing
• Master video strategies in the age of TikTok
• Explore new ways of leading teams
• Build your personal brand
• Learn how to win customers and keep them long term

My offering is as multifaceted as a dazzling rainbow – and that’s exactly how diverse and colourful I make my events! But one thing is always at the heart of it all: delivering keynotes. This is where I pour my heart and soul into it; this is where the focus is sharpest. But don’t worry: you won’t find dry statistics or endless monologues with me. Instead, you can expect energy, wit and a good dose of infotainment. Because I firmly believe that knowledge is best absorbed when it is conveyed in an entertaining way.
