Personal & Mission Statement
Born and raised in Germany, Jürgen pursued his Master’s degree in Media Studies and American Studies at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, laying the foundation for his deep appreciation of both German and American cultures. His academic journey later brought him to the United States, where he furthered his education at prestigious institutions including Stanford University and Harvard Extension School.
Throughout his career in marketing, Jürgen has been a bridge between German and American business cultures, working for both German multinational Siemens and American companies like Workday and Intacct. This unique perspective has allowed him to foster understanding and collaboration between the two nations in the corporate world. Fluent in both German and English, Jürgen has consistently leveraged his bilingual skills to facilitate communication and strengthen transatlantic ties.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Jürgen is passionate about preserving and promoting German-American heritage through his involvement at the Sacramento Turn Verein. He actively supports initiatives that celebrate the contributions of German immigrants to American society and encourage ongoing cultural exchange between the two countries. Jürgen’s commitment to philanthropy extends to educational programs that help young German-Americans connect with their roots and build strong, lasting relationships across the Atlantic.
