Hi, I'm Tobias.

I've been an entrepreneur and a CEO for almost 20 years. I started 4 companies and experienced all the highs and lows that are part of this journey: from successfully selling a business all the way to failing with others and experiencing burnout.

I'm still excited about successful companies and careers — but I don't think that “Higher! Faster! More!” is what we need the most. That's why my work here focuses on the human side of business: how we can make our work lives not only successful, but also sustainable and meaningful.

Check out my free guides on "Team Building" and "Remote Work" — or get in touch with me! I'd love to hear from you.

How My Work Can Help You

Everyone knows that we spend most of our waking time at work. For some people, this is nothing more than a dull truism.

For me, this is a wake-up call: to take responsibility; to take matters into my own hands and design my work life in the best possible manner.

After all, we're talking about the largest slice of our lifetime. I want it to matter, not burn me out. I want to enjoy it and spend it in an environment of trust and respect. All of this without sacrificing success.

My writing aims to help you make the most of your work life. For yourself, but also for your team. I focus on topics like...

How to live a healthy, sustainable, and productive work life. Beyond just "Higher! Faster! More!"
How to build teams with a strong, resilient company culture.
How to make remote work actually work.
How to learn the skills that really matter: better communication, creating stronger relationships, dealing with stress, building better habits.

Beyond my writing, I teach founders and leaders how to build teams where respect and trust go hand in hand with performance and results.

About Me

I've been an entrepreneur for almost 20 years. During this time, I've had my fair share of wins and losses:

I started 4 companies, made 2 of them profitable, and successfully sold my last one.
I grew this last one, together with my amazing team, to over 100,000 customers in companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon before it was acquired in 2021.
I built teams with an exceptional company culture, and full of wonderful people.
I share a ton of tools, recipes, and insights on how to build people-first teams in my book Building Better Teams.
I started introducing remote work already in 2010 and found ways to actually make it work.
I experienced severe burnout in 2014 and have been living with chronic illness for more than a decade.
I’m a certified MBSR meditation & mindfulness teacher.
I donate 10% of my income to a good cause, every year.

I offer workshops (in English and German) about topics like company culture and team building, mindfulness at work, remote work and leadership... If you're interested in working with me, feel free to contact me.
