Your event host for the day

Navigating the realm of business consultancy entails a myriad of challenges – highs and lows, opportunities and risks. My journey, spanning over 25 years, has been a dynamic exploration of these facets, not as a mere bystander but as an active participant experiencing the ebbs and flows.

My expertise has been honed in major consulting conglomerates, and I’ve forged my path by establishing and eventually selling my own consultancy firm over a decade. I’ve delved into the intricacies of propelling a solo venture, achieving seven-figure revenues through value-based fees, and much more besides. A consultant at heart, I’ve been immersed in this profession for decades, nurturing a profound love and commitment to the craft. Since 2015, my passion has extended to aiding fellow consultants in their continuous personal and business growth.

To all Board Members I extend a warm invitation to explore my articles, delve into complimentary webinars, and seize the opportunity with the Board Discussions for a transformative leap towards success. I look forward to the prospect of connecting with you personally at one of our upcoming events.

Yours, Matthias Kolbusa
