Klemens Skibicki

Klemens Skibicki (born 1972 in Cologne, Germany) is a global consultant and entrepreneur with a broad academic and multicultural background. His holistic historian’s view of digital disruption made him an early “digital evangelist” in Germany in research, teaching and consulting and led him to co-found several start-ups from 2004.

In addition to his entrepreneurial role, Prof. Dr. Klemens Skibicki is a renowned and sought-after keynote speaker and consultant in the field of digital transformation and structural development on a national and international level and has thus built up a broad network in countless industries throughout Europe.
