Background

Dr. Claus Clasvogt has been supporting companies and executives in strategic transformation processes for more than 20 years. After earning his diploma and doctorate in aerospace engineering at RWTH Aachen, his career led him through positions at Daimler, Ford and McKinsey to the thyssenkrupp Academy, where he built up the group-wide Change Practice – with the aim of systematically strengthening the group's transformation capability: through leadership development, the support of strategic change initiatives, and direct support of the businesses in demanding transformation processes.​

As Head of Leadership & Change, he subsequently was responsible for the development and implementation of group-wide programs for leadership, organizational and cultural development. In this role, he supported executive boards, management teams and leadership teams in hundreds of workshops on strategy, leadership, transformation and collaboration. Most recently, as Senior Vice President at thyssenkrupp AG, he was responsible for group-wide initiatives in the areas of transformation, leadership and artificial intelligence – with a particular focus on enabling executives not only to understand AI, but to actively shape the transformation within their own area of responsibility.​

In addition, Claus brings extensive training experience in Lean & Agile as well as Change Management and has completed a systemic business coaching certification at the Calumis Academy.
