    Chairing Social Media Academy – SMACAD
    We help business people to strategically engage in social media to build a better customer experience a more attractive business and a sustainable social presence as an organization. My experience is based on some major projects where I happened to become a “consultant by accident”. Two of them are multi billion $ global enterprises.

    I live in Silicon Valley with my entrepreneurial partner and wife Marita and sometimes one or all four of our kids.

    Personal Fun:
    Sailing the bay and on the ocean

    My mantras:
    “Responsibility is something you won’t be given unless you take it”
    “Speed is more important than perfection”
    “You will never get a reward for taking – but easily for giving”
    “You know you are getting old, when you spend more time protecting your assets than risking it”

    Not from me but Confucius:
    “Seek an activity you wholeheartedly love and you will never work a day in your life”

    Wappen_120x88I once traced my family history back to 1609. It was an interesting ride through history. The most interesting discovery was that entrepreneurship seems to be in my DNA. My grandfather founded an aluminum manufacturing plant after he founded a leather production company. My great grandfather owned a coffee production company and his father had a wood furniture manufactory. His father did something else, he owned a hotel – or what ever it was called in 1700. Going farther back was difficult enough to get names and birth dates, I found the names of the 10 or 12 children but not exactly the job they worked at other than it must have been the mayor from Hannover (German). The name Schultze = Mayor and the horse in our family shield is actually the horse of Hannover.
