Background

About Peter Wahsner

CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY. This inspirational quote is hanging in my office. As a very experienced and versatile global business leader, I put strong emphasis on strategy and change management. My background includes positions at various multinational conglomerates, offering unique senior-level leadership and international experience in general management, global marketing, and talent development in different markets and cultures. I consider myself being a global citizen, having lived and worked in Germany, the UK, the US, and the Netherlands. Throughout my career, I have delivered strong and sustainable gains in performance, productivity, and profitability. MANAGING CHANGE We've all heard the expression: The only constant is change. Change is never easy. There is nothing wrong with change—if it is in the right direction. Change in advance—before you have no choice. I prefer to define my own destiny rather than allowing others to do it for me. I also prefer the risk of making a wrong decision rather than being indecisive. INSPIRING INNOVATION Change your perspective—change your life. It's never the situation that's at fault. It's the way you choose to view it. Exploring new paths leads to unforeseen opportunities. Complacency is poison for innovation and a deliberate sabotage of the creative spirit. It's on you to discover what that opportunity is. PASSION FOR PEOPLE How can you build up your innovation assets? It’s the talent. I strongly believe in the importance of recruiting the right people for the team. It can set the company apart and provide a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. I like to think of leadership as a process of social influence that maximizes the efforts of others towards the achievement of a goal. If we own a big idea, we can stand for something important.
