Business event moderator – straight from the corporate world
“Never invest in a business model you don’t understand.” – Warren Buffet
Understand. Classify. Communicate.
hat’s exactly what I bring to the stage as a business event moderator. Because business topics require more than just a good voice—they require expertise, context, and attitude.
I am Franziska Zimmermann – Business event moderator with more than 15 years of experience in the corporate world..
During my time as a headhunter and later as Head of Business Development at a leading management consultancy, I worked with hundreds of companies – from tech startups and SMEs to ministries, private equity firms, and DAX-listed corporations.
I understand decision-making processes firsthand, have advised executives, CFOs, and leadership teams – and know what drives organizations of every size.
Even back then, I moderated workshops, webinars, customer events, and internal corporate 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!
