Sebastian Koeppel
Management SME and Succession Consulting
Been with cormens since 2023
Consulting focus: Organizational development, succession support, conflict management
Sebastian is a man of communication. But for him, speaking also means knowing when to remain silent. When the organizational consultant engages with people and teams, he first listens without judgment. It is just as important for him to take the needs of his counterparts seriously as it is to offer them new perspectives. Open and unafraid, he constantly challenges the status quo - his own included. It’s rare to see the coach not absorbed in a book, listening to podcasts at double speed, or otherwise continuing his education.
