About Christian

Christian grew up in Steyr, Austria. After earning a bachelor of commerce in England, he joined BMW, where he held various commercial and managerial positions for 7+ years, planning and implementing sales strategies in several areas of New York and Canada. He later served as Interim CEO for one of Central Europe’s largest vehicle trading companies.

Before joining YER USA, Christian founded an independent consulting firm, specializing in international sales and marketing strategies and organizational development in the North American market. During this period, he collaborated with a leading model railway manufacturer in Austria and acted as managing director for an Austrian mining industry company.

Equipped with consulting skills, leadership experience, and expertise in international business, Christian joined our team in 2018 to bridge the gap between the U.S. subsidiaries of European companies and the local labor market.

In his free time, Christian enjoys playing golf with his son. Winter and summer holidays in Austria are still a must, so you may run into him at a Christkindlmarkt or a lake near Vienna or Salzburg.
