Achim Arnold

Achim has facilitated strategic decision-making processes and delivered global change projects as a leader, manager, executive coach and consultant for more than 15 years. The common theme of his work is integrating the strategic and human dimension of organisations.

He led impactful projects from tight knit team development projects to large-scale global, strategy and leadership development engagements. Supporting clients on their path to developing frameworks, mind-sets and behaviours fostering their potential to consistently innovate and achieve sustainable success across regions, strategic business units and functions. He engaged with corporates at all levels from C-level to shop floor and along the entire value chain from procurement to sales.

Recently, he has supported Axialent, a global leader in “Conscious Business”, Leadership Development and Culture Change as a “Global Engagement Director”. Prior to this, he completed a multiyear Strategy Change initiative as a global lead consultant in Brazil. Achim has facilitated workshops around the world in English, Portuguese and German. He has worked in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, insurance, automotive and chemical industries as well as for smaller non-governmental organizations and service providers.

While we approach all of our work with sustainable value creation and impact for our clients in mind, Achim’s role is particularly focused on this. He often takes the role of client needs ambassador and brings fresh perspectives to initial conversations, as well as long-lasting partnerships in order to find points of leverage that enable impact. In addition to this, he facilitates and consults how certain aspects in business, which are commonly seen as polarities, can be explored differently to find new levels of alignment, for sustainable success and value creation.
