My ambition is to help companies advance, grow and be more successful by unleashing the power of communications. During my 20+ years’ experience I have executed and developed a wide range of high-impact communication solutions which successfully address change situations across leading international companies. Hartmut joined Siemens in 1999 and accompanied the growth of its global financial services business in various communications roles. The communications team acts as a business partner by guiding the company towards profitable growth, by establishing ongoing change to remain successful in turbulent times, by digitalizing communications and engaging in relevant discussions, and by establishing an open and transparent culture based on agile values. Hartmut holds a PhD of the University of Salford, UK. Before joining Siemens, he worked in communications for other financial companies, e.g. the German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt.
