“Grenzenlos” is my autobiography as a former manager in a US technology company. I wanted to describe primarily my personal experiences with other cultures, which I made over a period of 14 years. In the early 1990s I traveled basically on my own to the countries in central and southern Eastern Europe and opened a branch office in Budapest. Later, my experiences in Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union left lasting impressions, not least because of a moving excursion into my own family history. In the early 2000s, I traveled to the Middle East and some African countries before taking over responsibility for the business in the European Union. I completed my story with impressions from China, Taiwan and Guatemala.

“Jenseits von Samba und Karneval” is my personal view on Brazil, shaped by experiences from ten years of living and working over there. The book is largely a critical look at the large South American state and its society. In particular, I try to outline the economic, political and social challenges of Brazil that I was confronted with on a daily basis. But hopefully the book can also convey the fascination of this country and its people.
