Mr. Berger is knowledgeable, trust worthy and has years of experience in tough leadership positions. I had the honor of observing him operate in multiple capacities, first as the head of logistics and later as an investor evaluating a startup's value proposition. He possess the clarity of thought, wisdom and style of operating which help him simplify apparently intractable situations by asking incisive questions and guiding the team to a win-win consensus. He is a teacher at heart and countless new comers of the field have learned and benefited from the opportunity of working under his guidance.

I know Michael for over a decade and was glad to have him on my side during a challenging restructuring process and also the development of a new start-up enterprise from scratch. I can truly recommend him whenever it comes to result-driven strategic advice. Besides his indisputable expertise in all aspects of supply chain management and logistics he has the rare and outstanding capability of staying calm in the eye of a storm. Whilst others might want to jump ship Michael -based on tons of experiences from both sides of the table – knows how to respond and most importantly will keep the focus on your ultimate target.
Besides his professional qualification Michael is one of the most perceptive, empathetic and open-minded persons I have the chance to meet and I am blessed to call him a true friend.

Head of Logistics Adidas
Throughout the last 5 years, Michael helped me not only to transition my career into a new industry, but also shaped my personal development to become a better me. He challenged me to see things from multiple perspectives which also helped to step up into a senior role at a global company. I am inspired by his own value system and his openness for unconditional support. He is the one, who will pick up the phone and guide you through tough situations- no matter what time zone you are in. I can’t thank him enough for helping me to avoid most of the leadership traps and for the guidance to manage actively the risks a global career has to offer.
Matthias Gossenz,

With his international and intercultural experience as well as change management skills for the transformation process of organizations, Michael supported me to develop the global roadmap for my department. He is giving his feedback in a respectful and challenging way asking questions to guide along the process. He creates an atmosphere of openness and triggers an integrated view on strategies and processes. Michael is a down to earth person, encouraging to get started and is checking the progress in order to give hints to adopt the direction if necessary.
