Christian Stammkoetter

I am an experienced business leader with a strong and successful track record across different corporate cultures and categories in food&beverage, specialized nutrition and personal care in different CEO / General Management and Marketing roles. I also had the chance to gain experience as Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of a private equity backed Internet Start up. My passion is all about Growth and Impact. Sustainable and profitable growth is vital for the long term health of any business and I am convinced that profitable growth can be achieved everywhere - no matter the category and no matter the geography. Growth is a Mindset. As I have successfully lead many turn arounds in different geos and categories and it was very visible that starting the turn around with a clear and engaging mission and building a strong and agile growth cultures was mission critical. Together with a clear growth agenda and rigor in executional excellence, it proofed that Growth driven turn arounds drive long term and structural results over just short term minded profit fixes. Yet my passion for growth doesn’t stop with profitable business growth. First and foremost, I am passionate about people’s growth - as helping people to grow as individuals and as members of high performing teams is giving me joy, helps me to grow as a leader and drives business result and engagement. And today more than ever I am driven by making an impact. An impact on the business but also a positive impact on society. I am a strong believer in business as a force for good and the impact companies and their leaders can have on the Planet and Health of People. Therefore among other, I am pleased to be part of the YPO Circularity Impact Group that aims at contributing to reduction of ocean plastic and plastic waste.
