I met Michael Kamm over 30 years ago, when we took our first steps on the career ladder together.

Over all these years, I have seen Michael take on various roles and challenges and he has always shown that he is fully committed and dedicated. That has shone through in the way he has tackled the task at hand and in the way he has interacted with his colleagues and employees.

He is extremely professional, drawing on his expertise to excel at the work he specialises in. His desire to get to the very heart of problems has certainly always helped him to achieve success.

It is always a real pleasure to have a conversation with him and share ideas.

Michael Kamm has the experience, personality and charm required to strike the perfect balance between what someone wants and what is actually possible. The crucial ability to not divide opinion and the way he always puts the interests of an organisation before those of an individual make him perfectly placed on a committee. He is able to tackle complex situations effectively thanks to his international experience and his impressively strong network.

I also consider Michael Kamm an excellent mentor and the perfect person to have on board when it comes to succession planning for family-run companies.

On a personal level, he adds something special to every conversation and he can be trusted infinitely.
