Deputy Chairman
- Dr. Thomas Schulz
Dr. Schulz is managing partner and shareholder in various IT companies in the fields of group reporting, E-learning and web portals.
Following his traineeship in the banking sector and studies in business management at Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität, Frankfurt, Dr. Schulz was awarded his PhD from the European Business School in Rheingau. Following this he built up the Marketing/Sales department at IDL, today a market-leading supplier of ERP-standard software for group accounting and group controlling. The subsequent professional career of Dr. Schulz led him to spend six years in Stuttgart at the international management consultants Horváth & Partners, where he set up and ran the Horváth Academy for six years.
As managing director of dib Deutsches Institut für Betriebswirtschaft, a longstanding provider of training seminars based in Frankfurt am Main, Dr. Schulz was once again offered the opportunity to assume responsibility on the Board of FFF. Since 2007 Dr. Schulz has been involved in the establishment of a web-based platform for electronic educational media.
Dr. Schulz on FFF:
"For me, the unique character and, indeed, special charm of the FFF has its roots in a combination of several factors:
- an increasingly dense and broad network of like minded people,
- the voluntary commitment of the "key players",
- the limitation to the necessary formalisms in the management of programme and structure and
- in spite of the high degree of professionalism of the organisation, the emphasis on personal touches in relations with one another".
