About Dr. Arseny
Thumb von Neuburg

Dr Arseny Thumb von Neuburg is a Senior Speaker at JENEWEIN. For the past ten years he has supported large corporations and mid-sized companies through periods of profound change – from board and top management level all the way through to implementation in divisions and teams.

His focus lies on the question of why some people grow in crises and upheavals – and why others react with fear and withdrawal. He explored this subject in his doctoral thesis at the University of St. Gallen. He translates the resulting insights into keynotes, leadership programmes and workshops on leadership in transformation, performance under pressure and the adaptability of organisations.

Before joining JENEWEIN, he worked as a consultant at Arthur D. Little and KPMG and was involved in developing new mobility services at the BMW Group. At JENEWEIN he has designed and led more than 300 workshops and has held programme lead responsibility for four multi-year transformation programmes, including for SBB, MEDIAN Kliniken and B. Braun.

He has been shaped not only by his work in business and consulting, but also by elite sport: as a multiple world champion in Irish dance, he knows what it takes to perform at a high level over a long period – and how decisive it is to have someone believe in your potential before you believe in it yourself.
