Jan Lachenmayer

I am ever more intrigued by digital transformation as a vehicle for change. I have a passion for people, technology, and big-picture thinking. I believe in the power of co-creation, diversity, and a uniting vision. I would describe myself as a world citizen rooted in humanistic ideals. I am driven by using information and communication technologies to create an impact for a better world.

Throughout my career, I navigated between different worlds, understanding their mechanisms, playing with their rules, whilst irritating and disrupting them, where necessary. I consulted Dax-listed companies, led EU- and Government-funded research projects, advised high-level political decision-makers, organised major cultural events, taught at universities, and founded non-profit and for-profit organisations including two tech startups. At present, I am managing director of the non-profit organisation enpact empowering entrepreneurship in emerging and developing countries as well as co-founder of FORMATION , a tech startup using interactive maps to location-enable every workforce in the world.
