I had the pleasure and enjoyed working with Christian and from the start I understood how special he is. Christian is not only very smart and a visionary, he is also a great leader with a great understanding of how important it is to have a strong and motivated team. Human values are very important to him.

I strongly believe Christian can be a great leader in any company. His approach to the business is one of the best I have experienced. His drive to success is way above average.

He is well liked from both colleagues and customers. A great leader, partner and boss.

Christian is an extraordinary talent in business and the journey over the last 6 months
has been fast, inclusive and expansive. Christian is led by strategy and intuition and he has
gently challenged us to bring out our best whilst having fun with us along the journey.
Christian is a leader who builds teams, fosters collaboration and earns respect of anyone
whom he works with.

He is intellectual powerhouse and relentless driving force. One quickly realises the
depth of his expertise and that his thinking is two or three steps ahead of where the rest of us
are focussed. Christian sees the world as the leaders from our clients see it - the perfect
perspective from which to guide the formation of a true full-service provider. He understands
the industry and the complexities of running a business of scale. He is a man that we can all learn from and grow alongside.

In the course of various cooperations while he was working as the CEO for the brands "Meissen" and "Porsche Design" I have experienced Christian Kurtzke as a very creative and truly reliable business partner.

Christian is an acknowledged and highly-engaged "maker of brands", with a styleful expertise of how to combine stringent brand development with powerful customer-focused concepts and innovative communication ideas.

He acts focused on objectives, with a high level of professionalism and at the same time with an ease that always added a special, personal touch to our collaboration.

In the course of a major business reorganisation measure, we had the privilege to work with Dr. Christian Kurtzke as designers and interior designers. Never before have we encountered anyone so incredibly filled with curiosity and energy. His love of design made our cooperation into something utterly unique. 

Christian Kurtzke can be characterised as eloquent, charming and as someone who goes about completing his work with utmost precision. A visionary, expecting highest possible performance from those involved in the planning process, but also giving no less himself. 

Working for him was a time rich in experiences and held many challenges. 

We would be extremely pleased to work with Christian Kurtzke as consultants and partners again in the future.

As a supplier and strategic business partner, I have worked with Christian closely for several years now. For me, he is one of the strongest visionaries that I have ever met. He has a strong intuition for brands and brand-building. He is both analytic AND emotional. Furthermore, one of his strongest skills is his capability to enthuse people for his visions, "vibrating" with passion and energy. And what is most important: Christian is an absolutely reliable business partner.

And now I personally had the opportunity to experience Christian in a different role - as a personal coach and sparring-partner. Being an entrepreneur I was used to take all critical decisions alone, by myself. During our session, Christian has helped me extremely with his outstanding analytics and his unique human sensibility: to sort things out, challenge & discuss, change perspectives and re-structure the pieces of the puzzle. Thereby further focusing and simplifying my view on strategic objectives and milestones.

A very valuable experience for me and a pre-requisite of effective leadership! From now on I will definitely invite him on a regular basis as my personal advisor and strategic sparring partner.

 


 

Claudia EISINGER, GERMAN ACTRESS (DEUTSCHER SCHAUSPIELPREIS 2016) & FOUNDER OF "WONDERWAVE"

Christian Kurtzke is a visionary that understands the new forms and structures. With his "laserview" he looks straight into the heart and soul of an idea, senses directly its magics and authentic potential and then knows perfectly how to deliver the right impulses for an absolutely individualized, genious implementation.

I am just developing my own Multibrand "WONDERWAVE", a multichannel concept for a life full of love and miracles, and with Dr. Kurtzke I found an advisor who supports me and encourages me to follow my heart and creativity without any diluting compromises and who also inspires me to think in entirely new forms and dimensions.

For me, he is the perfect "partner in crime" for realizing personal visionary ideas in their highest and most authentic form. With him, one can really bring the New into the World!

Dr. Christian Kurtzke is a highly talented individual, that consistently demonstrated his great leadership capabilities. He worked on both the strategic and tactical levels, and with highest ethical standards, 24/7 in every timezone. Through his visionary and charismatic leadership he has proven over and over again to stretch the limits of what was possible - to partners and everybody in the Group. His hands on approach has been empowering, motivating and challenging everybody in the Group, at all levels, in the most positive way. He has the capability to explain even complex visions in a simple way and directly engages at all staff levels as a coach in daily business, teaming up with the people and qualifying them. We worked as colleagues on a country level and in his position as Group Chairman. I would not hesitate to work again with Dr. Christian Kurtzke, how challenging the venture may seem.

Christian Kurtzke is a great inspiror for all teams who decided to pursue pioneering new ways.
He inhales the energy necessary for transformation into the organization.

I worked for Dr Christian Kurtzke at when I was UK Country manager for a German luxury-lifestyle group. Working with him was extremely fruitful: his vision of the business, his knowledge of the market, his contact with big partners, transformed the development of the business and made it work in a very efficient and successful way. His market analysis and how we need to deal with it in an International framework is impressive. His global understanding of the different distribution channels to conceptualize a marketing and communication plan is totally adapted to the reality of the market.
He has been always very supportive in every aspects of the management with a lots of respect. I truly recommend Dr Christian Kurtzke as a leader. I really enjoyed working for him.

 

 

Charlotte Anabelle de Brabandt, Global procurement EMEA, Johnson & Johnson

I have had the pleasure to work with Christian for the past few years at a German luxury-lifestyle group. Christian is one of the sharpest managers I have ever had the privilege to work with. He has various unique skill sets; just to mention a few, business acumen, creativity, discipline and ability to complete complex initiatives that makes him a scarce commodity in the business world today. Christian is a strong visionary, who has the ability to guide vendors and business partners proactively to insure the maximum value of the partnership that can be shared by both vendor and client. More importantly he is able to keep his organization focus, thus insuring the successful competition of projects. He caters his management style to how each person works best, making sure to give just the needed oversight, but never more than a minute away if you ask him for help. Furthermore his technological vision & organizational insights are dead on. I'd definitely work for Christian again.
