During the Spring Convention at the Federal Press Conference House in Berlin – in the presence of dignitaries including former German President Joachim Gauck — he received his official appointment. As a member of the Senate, he brings decades of operational and strategic experience into policy, economics, and society, helping bridge the gap between practice and politics.

This honor affirms what distinguishes his work: strategic depth, a will to transform, values-based leadership, and the conviction that entrepreneurship must include a broader societal mission.
