Dr. Hans-Joachim Grabow

After studying Economics and German in Aachen, Cologne and Vienna, I joined the then founder-managed Struktur Management Partner GmbH in autumn 1993 as a consultant. I quickly realized that effective restructuring is a very demanding task, which to this day brings with it a steep learning curve with satisfying as well as painful experiences. The development of solutions in different contexts requires not only first-class analytical and methodological tools, but above all an interest in working with people. Because people change organizations, not the other way around. I am therefore also very pleased that I was able to deepen the coaching of people in my later development through courses of study at INSEAD, among others.
