Dr Josef Frischeisen

Josef is convinced that under pressure, people don’t merely function – they can grow, emotionally, intellectually and as a team. It is a conviction he hasn’t taken from a textbook, but from practice: as Senior Speaker and Partner at JENEWEIN, he has worked with more than 50 organisations worldwide over recent years. At the intersection of leadership, collaboration and cultural change.

With a doctorate from the University of St Gallen, a research scholarship in Singapore behind him, former consultant at a leading management consultancy – and today a lecturer at HSG as well as Partner at JENEWEIN: Josef Frischeisen combines scientific depth with a feel for what truly matters in organisations. His topics are not theory. They are the result of curiosity, research and an honest look at the reality of companies.

What sets him apart: he doesn’t just want to inform – he wants to move. In keynotes, workshops and coaching on leadership, resilience and learning culture, he creates moments that set something in motion. That he followed his instinct and changed direction after a single semester of law was perhaps the first sign that he knows when change is called for.
