Reinhard Dischner is a visionary manager, a passionate doer, but above all he is one thing: human. His clients are corporate boards, managing directors, entrepreneurs, marketing and sales teams, as well as young academics who are making their first experiences as managers.
As the son of an entrepreneur, Reinhard Dischner (born in 68) was also born with this gene. After studying economics in Germany and Spain, he began his career as the youngest trainee and then shop manager at Peek & Cloppenburg. He made the leap to international terrain at GAP Inc. in the USA. He enjoyed further education at Columbia University, NYC (USA) and at IMD in Lausanne (CH).
He has already been able to contribute his “people, product and process excellence” to the sporting goods manufacturer PUMA for more than 18 years in top management, turning it into a legendary success story: As General Manager SportStyle, he helped the “cat” from the rummage table to the catwalks of the world. He led a multicultural, global team in all core markets: From America to Europe/Africa to the Far East.
