After studying chemistry and earning his doctorate in biotechnology, he began his career in engineering at Bayer in Leverkusen, before moving to Berkeley, CA, to establish a process engineering team for the production of the recombinant blood clotting factor VIII. Next he assumed manufacturing responsibility at Rentschler, a medium-sized contract developer and manufacturer.

After a stint at the start-up Micromet as Head of Technical Operations, he joined io-consultants (consultancy and engineering) as a partner. There he developed the pharma/biotech division and was responsible for sales as member of the management team.

Gregor advises medium-sized companies and start-ups as well as big pharma and has led several successful realignments and turnarounds. He is a certified coach and works according to systemic principles. With D&N, he wants to support companies in their sustainable development – economically, ecologically, organizationally and in their corporate culture.

Gregor was born in the Rhineland and lives in Heidelberg with his wife and three children. He loves to cook and play the piano.
