Hello,
my name is
Holger Heinze

Introduction

I founded my first internet company in 1999 and have kept working on disruptive start-ups, digital projects and consulting engagements ever since.

As a serial entrepreneur and consultant, I specialize in finding structured solutions in unstructured situations. Often, this includes digital business models, analyzing and advocating for human needs, bringing teams together and leading them towards a common, economically attractive goal.
