Torsten is a sustainability professional and marketing consultant with ten years of experience in sales and marketing. Shortly after moving to New York in 2011 he partnered with Office Kuki, a Manhattan based brand marketing agency with a focus on sustainability.

In order to provide his growing desire to have an impact with the sharpest toolset possible, Torsten decided to go back to school. He graduated from HCU/HafenCity Universitaet (Hamburg/Germany) achieving a B.Sc. in Urban Planning. The Irene und Friedrich Vorwerk Stiftung, a well recognized non profit foundation, honored his thesis with an award for excellence. Benefitting from the fact that the HCU was a major counselor to help his hometown Hamburg become Europe's Green Capital of 2011, his studies were characterized by a strong focus on sustainability in arguably the world's most advanced market.

Together with his wife and his sister in law he built up the ASB Foundation, a non profit that supports the people of Koutal, a Senegalese village whose inhabitants suffer from leprosy.
