Meet Christian J. Schäfer:
Every day, Christian tries to help clients make progress. His motivation is to help clients realize their ambitions. He helps clients prioritize what business problems to solve and then to choose and implement improvement measures that realize business outcomes.
His approach is straightforward: listen deeper than most people listen, identify what others need rather than what they say they need, and help teams move forward together. This sounds simple because it is. But it's also rare enough that it works.
From Vision to value, Christian helps clients realize their enterprise transformation objectives, lower costs strategically, redesign processes and operating models, and realize >20% revenue growth. He's led multinational teams across Europe, the United States, and Asia. He's managed programs with multi-million budgets and overseen delivering enterprise sales growth worth hundreds of millions in revenue.
During his more than twenty-year career, Christian held various strategy consulting, business development and sales management leadership roles at Accenture, Microsoft, T-Systems and Wipro.
Christian holds two Master’s degrees, in Business Administration and International Management from the European Business School (ebs) in Germany and from Thunderbird in the USA. He also graduated from Harvard Business School’s General Management Program in 2021. He continues to invest in his craft through advanced programs in strategy, sales, and leadership, and mentors young colleagues to achieve their potential.
He lives with his wife Amy, and their three young children Nike, Eames and Henry, in Berlin, Germany. In his free time, Christian enjoys hiking, travelling, swimming, reading, gardening and playing badminton.
But what matters most isn't on his CV: he genuinely cares about whether his clients succeed. He's willing to push back constructively when a path won't work. He admits what he doesn't know. He listens to disagreement. And he measures success by whether his clients’ solve their problems, not whether he gets credit for it.
Christian works with enterprise clients seeking a trusted advisor when it really matters, someone who will ask the hard questions, see what others miss, and help their organization move from insight to action to outcomes.
