    Heiko Wolf

    Heiko Wolf im Beratungskollektiv

    I'm a political scientist, licensed* mediator (by the German BMEV) and have worked on different jobs for many years. I was a development aid worker in Capetown, I am a partner in a middle-sized business and I have expertise in working with companies, teams and families.

    The others say about me:

    • "There's strength in serenity" is a perfect description for Heiko's way of working. Even when things are heated and rough he stays cool-headed and stands with his two feet on the ground."
    • "Heiko usually knows the way but he can also adapt to a situation and adjust a course as circumstances demand. But whatever happens, he always remains calm."
