Thomas Bothe, 63, grew up as the youngest of three in a German entrepreneurial family. The logistic business and family life intertwined, with a large multicultural work force and hands-on leadership. An ideal environment for an introvert but confident boy to observe the havoc of misunderstandings. And to develop a passion to remedy it.
At 18 emigration to Sweden, later also in the UK, Canada and many other countries. Deep lifelong interest in historic, strategic and leadership related topics. At 25-26 formal studies at Stockholm University: Informatics, Systems Science, Commercial Law, Economic History, Business Administration, Astronomy and other intriguing subjects.
Until 2000 MD / CEO in the electronics and computer industry. For a period extensive commuting between Europe and Taiwan, Guangdong, Hong Kong. Companies headed often merged with other companies.
Professional reorientation. Last 20 years trainer of 2000+ European CxOs and management team members to reduce the gap between what's intended and what's understood.
Thomas is trilingual. His training style is a blend of ‘Swedish’ informality, 'English’ humour and ‘German’ thoroughness. The area where he is five questions deep is at the crossroads between strategic leadership, communication, team-spirit and mindfulness.
