About

Daniel García Hernández Head of Campus, ISM Munich – International School of Management As Head of Campus at ISM Munich, I shape higher education leadership and academic strategy within the Munich region and the international education landscape. My work focuses on strengthening governance, safeguarding academic integrity, and positioning institutions responsibly within global and European education systems. I operate at the intersection of institutional and international leadership, strategic communication, and knowledge architecture. Digital transformation is not merely technological change, but a governance challenge: how institutions design decision frameworks, maintain epistemic clarity, and secure long-term resilience. As Co-Founder and Board Member (CSO/CCO) of Narrative.Digital UG (Berlin), I develop narrative and epistemic frameworks for universities and knowledge-intensive organizations, integrating governance, positioning, and communication strategy in digitally evolving environments. Credo: Institutions shape knowledge. Ideas shape institutions. Responsibility sustains both. — Focus Areas Higher Education Leadership · International Governance · Academic Strategy · Strategic Communication · Institutional Development · Digital Transformation · Editorial Leadership — Professional & Academic Experience Head of Campus, ISM Munich Lecturer, ISM University of Applied Sciences (since 2019) Manager Deep-Tech Spin-offs, Technical University of Berlin (2022–2023), supporting technology transfer and public-sector innovation Director Corporate Communications & Media Strategy, statt-werk GmbH, Berlin (2012–2018).
