Dr. René Kusch

Managing Partner

“Relevance results from goal orientation, effectiveness, and fun.”

Dr. René Kusch is convinced that the right assessment helps people grow and creates value. As one of the leading Hogan experts in the German-speaking world, he helps people achieve strategic self-knowledge and helps leaders make conscious decisions. Clear, profound, sustainable, and effective.

As a psychologist, he combines his scientific expertise with entrepreneurial thinking and smart ideas while  staying in the background and supporting those in the foreground. His appreciative approach creates a climate in which awareness of one's own competence can develop, in group as well as individual work. Dr. Kusch's approach is well proven and world-experienced.
