About

Hello! My name is Manuel Pusterhofer, Manager for Strategic Projects at Miba AG. Miba is a leading, global strategic partner for the industrial, energy and automotive sectors. Miba achieved its outstanding market position by clear customer-orientation, innovativeness and technological leadership. I have a mixed background of business administration and computer science education. My extensive experience in the consulting industry gives me a deep understanding of current issues in business life. I am proud to have solved multiple challenging problems for complex, international companies. As managers, we cannot ignore current market trends and international competitive environments. This requires us to rethink the way we do business. Servant leadership, digitization, rapid innovation and lean economy will redefine the ecosystem we are in. Beyond my work life, I am passionate about family, sports and adventures. I love spending time in the mountains to sustain a balanced mind and energize myself.
