After four years with Dell/Perot Systems leading the EMEA consulting unit, and 16 years in the IT industry, the time has come for a fundamental career change for Karsten Drath. In January, Karsten was named CEO of Leadership Choices, a world-class professional services company in executive development and leadership coaching. After focusing on coaching and personal development for the past five years, this step marks a new era for Karsten. The team of Leadership Choices combines former top executives with a passion for personal growth. Headquartered in Frankfurt, the company has associates in 10 countries.

After a very exciting and equally successful time with Mediobanca, Thomas Dorbert left the bank and accepted an attractive opportunity in January as a partner at KPMG, heading the debt advisory services in Frankfurt.
