Vita

Born in Mainz in 1979, Thorsten Seehawer studied business administration at WHU Koblenz (Otto Beisheim School of Management), Fundação Getulio Vargas (Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo) and the University of Michigan (Stephen M. Ross School of Business). He graduated with a Master's Degree in Economics and Business Administration in 2005, having focused on management accounting, marketing as well as technology and innovation management.

After his two-year traineeship in banking and finance at Landesbank Rheinland-Pfalz (Mainz/Germany), he gained professional experience in various fields ranging from business development, marketing and procurement to accounting, consulting and corporate control while working with Siemens (Sao Paulo/Brazil, Munich/Germany), PricewaterhouseCoopers (Cordoba/Argentina), DaimlerChrysler (Sao Bernardo do Campo/Brazil), Beiersdorf (Hamburg/Germany) and Stern Stewart (Munich/Germany).

He wrote his diploma thesis in cooperation with Dr. Peter A. Gloor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge/USA) about applications of social network analysis by means of information technology.

Besides university, Thorsten Seehawer had been acting for more than two years as personal assistant to Dr. Otto Count Lambsdorff, former German Federal Minister of Economics.

Moreover, he was team member (business affairs) of the Exist Seed project and start-up IDMA - Identification Management (financed by the European Social Fund and the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology), which strives to improve the identification process of disaster victims by means of RFID-technology.

He was a participant in the joint German-French doctoral program between HEC School of Management Paris and University of Cologne during the academic year 2007/08.
