Bio
Éric Decastro
Since 1998 I had the pleasure of working with Thorsten on several projects (IPO m+s Ticcity).Thorsten is an excellent business leader with whom it's easy to work with and who understands how to drive success in all his engagements. He's a true professional, very intelligent, open-minded, honest and very goal-oriented. Thorsten is an outstanding networker who holds strong contacts to business leaders in a lot of industries in Germany and other countries. It was and it is a great pleasure for me to work together with him and I look forward to successful collaborations in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Thorsten in a multi-company, multi-country venture to formalise the co-operation of PC resellers in multiple countries into a Global PC reseller alliance (ACSL) and to construct a business model that would allow it to operate independently of its key shareholder companies. During this time Thorsten demonstrated vision, clarity of thought and an understanding of different business and country cultures which was significant in formulating and implementing a business model acceptable to all stakeholders and that has proven successful over the last 12 years. I would recommend Thorsten to anyone requiring a senior level business leader with proven experience in managing complex European organisations
