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.
During my time as a headhunter and later as Head of Business Development in 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, and customer and employee events.
Today I bring all this experience together with a lot of passion as full-time business & economic moderator to your event – factual, clear, but never dry!
