Customer testimonials

What customers and colleagues say

"What particularly impressed me was Maik's ability to articulate complex topics such as AI in a pragmatic and understandable way. He has a pleasant, authentic curiosity. And last but not least, his structured approach made the recording not only very efficient, but also fun. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Maik should seize it.”
Felix Schlenther
Founder AI FIRST
"I got to know Maik during my time at ApolloTyres EU. In my entire career, I have rarely met anyone who could use their extraordinary cognitive intelligence in such an empathetic and pragmatic way to introduce people, teams, or even entire departments to change projects. In addition to the strengths already mentioned, his active listening skills are also one of his particular strengths. This creates trust and, above all, openness in discussions. I would always recommend Maik or welcome him back to my team."
Matthias Urban
Global Chief Sales Officer,

“It's not often that you meet people with whom you immediately hit it off. That's exactly how it was with Maik when we first talked about change management. His combination of psychological background and extensive change experience is impressive – and he shares his knowledge with genuine passion.”
