  • “Christian is one of the most well connected people I know and is very open about helping connect others to realise potential. Indeed, he immerses himself in the world of entrepreneurship on various levels and after meeting and hearing him speak at multiple conferences it came to be that during the summer he was teaching me on management, entrepreneurship and leadership at the London School of Economics. It was refreshing to see that in addition to the sophisticated academic models he was always ready to give lessons in life and how they could be applied to assembling a great team (one of Christian's expertise) and launching a successful venture. He is able to do this because he carries a TED-style talk into the classroom and can relate business and entrepreneurship to any concept. If you ever need advice or to connect with someone in the entrepreneurial community get in touch with Christian, I recommend him highly.”

  • “Dr Christian Busch spoke at our inaugural Citywire DACH event, and he was well-received by our audience of German, Swiss and Austrian fund selectors. Our delegates responded to his session with comments such as "eye-opening" and "very interesting, factual...we've already invested in some of these ideas". Delivering his presentation with humour and energy in German, I was impressed by the level of engagement from the crowd, with a record number of questions in the interactive Q&A section. His content was extremely well-presented and his slides were visually interesting - lots of images and clear flow charts that enhanced his speech. Dr Busch was a pleasure to work with, and volunteered his time to shoot a promotion video for the event, along with joining our dinner the evening before and sitting with our directors which added value to the booking. We will definitely consider working with him again in the future, and as he also speaks English fluently there is capacity for him to speak before many of our audiences.”

  • “This Spring, Christian offered a remarkable keynote on the theme of "The Impact of Digitalization in the Workplace" at JP Morgan in London. Our audience of senior leaders in the talent space, representing many global Fortune 500 companies, took some great lessons back to their headquarters, in how to better leverage their diverse workforce. Christian has an engaging inspiring style. He has the ability to communicate quite complex structures by breaking them down into simple steps, showcasing ultimately how leaders can empower their workforce to be a productive one. He is a true global curious nomad.”
