Werner Herzog was born in September 1942 in Munich, Germany, at a turning point in the Second World War.

Hi, I’m Michael. After years as an engineer and corporate manager, I founded my own consulting firm focused on sustainability solutions. Since retiring, I’ve been tackling puzzles that align seemingly conflicting interests and discovering win-win strategies with my clients. I also support a project dedicated to ocean ecology.

We probably live in the best world we ever had, with the promise of making a ...
