Oliver Kempkens
Heidelberg, Germany
Oliver has deep roots in European entrepreneurship and a wide variety of business experience, ranging across many industries. More than a decade of leading organizational change in varied business and non-business environments has built up a wealth of hard-edged operational experience that Oliver now wields as CEO of ADAPT OR DIE™ Ventures, and as Chairman and founder of ADAPT OR DIE™ Consulting. A witness to the benefits of innovative business thinking, Oliver has spread the word as keynote speaker at top-flight events from his native Germany to Moscow, Zagreb, London and beyond. Listing 'wicked problems,' 'design strategy' and 'mediation' as interests, his favourite Dickensian quote is: "Can I have some more?"
