managementconsulting | coaching

His passion is leadership and change.

As a graduate in business administration and engineering, Christian Thöne has two decades of leadership experience in various national and international management functions. After several years of his international career in purchasing at Deutsche Bank, he became a partner of a management consulting firm; here, his work focused on projects in the areas of restructuring, change, management, controlling and cost optimization.

Four years later, he took on another management role at a German financial institution. As Head of Procurement Management, he strategically realigned this area in the course of a change process lasting several years and led it through the financial crisis.

Today, he works as a freelance management consultant, trainer and executive coach, is involved as a speaker and moderator and is active in several associations.

In his projects, he accompanies people and organizations through the process of change and successfully interlocks innovative consulting-, training-, org-/team development- and coaching formats along the project goals like a puzzle.

His services along the transformation are always based on the human factor, because change begins with people and their mindset.
