Meet the team

Benno van Aerssen

Innovation Catalyst & Strategist | Board

Strategy, innovation and art — in Benno van Aerssen, these three worlds have been inseparably intertwined for decades. With the restlessness of an artist, the experience of a strategist and the instinct of a visionary, he creates fault lines in thinking where others simply carry on as before.

Christian Buchholz

Innovation Speaker & Future Thinker | Board

Change is not a threat — it is an invitation. This conviction has carried Christian Buchholz onto stages in 26 countries for more than 20 years, and into workshops and seminars around the world. With 2,000 innovation projects, 700 keynotes and six books to his name, his credo is as simple as it sounds: “There has never been a better time for new ideas.”

Christina Westing

Innovation Coach & Consultant | Visual Innovation Expert

Christina brings together two worlds that are rarely considered in the same breath: innovation processes and the power to make them visible. As the inventor of Visual Innovating and author of the book of the same name, she helps teams out of the innovation fog — and gets them back into action.

Malvine Klecha

Consultant & Product Development

Malvine is an implementer and doer with a clear vision, in-depth expertise and clear structures in her work. As a Master’s student on the “Innovation in KMUS” course and the “Sustainable Management and Technology” course, she is the first choice for projects and workshops for SMEs as well as training courses with a focus on sustainability.

For Malvine, sustainability and innovation are two topics that can no longer be thought of in isolation.

People we work with

Innovation can only be driven forward by many people working together. That’s why we work together with many extraordinary people – our verrocchio Fellows! Get to know these extraordinary people.
