Florian Hoffmann

As a pioneering thought-leader, teacher and award-winning social entrepreneur, Florian Hoffmann has become one of the most sought after business speakers available for events. As the World Economic Forum's 100 Young Global Leaders under 40 of 2017, he has established himself as an authority on business productivity and profitability. Florian has spent a large part of his career researching such topics as marketing, financial constraints and the Dynamic Agency Model, producing industry-renowned papers shaping the world of business leadership as we know it. When booked for events, Florian expands upon his various subjects of study, revolutionising a corporate audience's processes.

Florian founded The DO School in 2013. Designed to aid young social entrepreneurs in their journey to success, he uses his elite career to network and partner with global organisations to benefit "young talent". As the Managing Director, Florian is responsible for the positive influence his international programs have had for over 50,000 participants, across 27 countries. Including H&M and Google, The DO School has provided innovative products and services in partnership with elite companies for several years. Florian has appeared at industry conferences and corporate events across the globe, using his story to inspire business leaders to support young entrepreneurs.

Following a prestigious education, Florian co-founded the Dekeyser & Friends Foundation, a Geneva-based entrepreneurial organisation focused on supporting social projects both financially and with industry advice. To empower young prospective thought leaders with their business goals, and in turn make a positive change in the world, Florian uses that same drive to benefit audiences at events. In 2009, he developed a creative-strategy for DEDON, a furniture company, and founded the island resort, DEDON Island. One of Florian's driving forces is to make a positive change, reflected through his work improving the sustainability of the Philippines tourism industry.

No stranger to the stage, Florian has dedicated his career to inspiring prospective business owners, starting as a student speaker in 1998. Boasting a scholarship degree from Oxford University, he has previously worked on the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations in 2005. Florian is an award-winning speaker, with his entrepreneurial academy, The DO School, being named one of the Best Social Innovation Ventures by European Investment Bank Social Innovation Tournament. Including the New York City Venture Fellowship Award, the 2016 Land der Ideen Award and the 2016 Deutscher Engagement Preis, your event deserves a top-class speaker.
