Portrait

Dirk Lupberger is a cosmopolitan with a down-to-earth attitude. In other words, a person who has maintained his reliability and meticulousness despite high-calibre management experience all over the world. The doctor of law worked for 14 years in the Siemens Group – most recently as CEO and President of Siemens Venture Capital – and has developed numerous corporate strategies as a manager, supervisory board member and investor on an international level. Since 2012, he has been supporting innovative medium-sized and start-up companies as a management consultant and lawyer. He benefits from his free spirit as well as his ability to think pragmatically. Dirk Lupberger also shows his enthusiasm in his spare time: he takes no half measures when hiking, sailing or skiing.
