Your business moderator – directly from corporate practice

“Never invest in a business model you don’t understand.” – Warren Buffet

Understand. Classify. Communicate.

That's exactly what I strive for as a business presenter. Because business topics require more than just a good voice—they require expertise, context, and attitude.

I am Franziska Zimmermann – Business moderator with over 15 years of experience in the private sector.

Even during my time as a headhunter and later as Head of Business Development at a leading management consultancy, I hundreds of companies accompanied – by Tech start-up, above SMEs, Ministries, Private equity firms up to DAX group.

I have firsthand experience of decision-making processes, have advised subject matter experts, CFOs, and management teams – and know what makes organizations large and small tick. 

Even back then I moderated workshops, webinars, customer and employee events.

Today I bring all this experience and a great deal of passion as full-time business & economic moderator to your event – factual, clear, but never dry!
