In recent decades, changes have been the “norm” for Werner Heesen. He worked on three continents in various management positions for Deutsche Lufthansa and during this time lived and actively shaped the term “change management” in practice. He spent 13 exciting years in India - most recently in the position of “Director South Asia”.

In addition to the successful establishment and expansion of the Lufthansa organization as part of the group strategy for the subcontinent, his tasks included negotiations at the highest political decision-making level, crisis management in a wide variety of forms, the operational management of Indian companies, the development of medium-sized business units and negotiations with Indian unions.

He has been making this experience and his special knowledge available to our customers since 2012.

“In addition to making the right business decisions, being successful in India also requires the ability not to lose sight of your own objectives in discussions and negotiations with Indian employees or business partners - without being authoritarian or arrogant. However, this requires a form of stubbornness and assertiveness that I have never experienced in any other country in the world. I am happy to pass on this experience regarding management and control of business processes to our customers.”

Werner Heesen was President of the German-Indian Chamber of Commerce.
