David got this guiding principle from his hotel manager for his role as a host—a thought that aligns with the vision of the Andreas Hermes Academy.

David’s journey began in the hotel industry, where he pursued a career as a hotel manager. Working with people quickly proved to be particularly valuable for him. A few years and hotels later, he began studying sustainable management at the Technical University of Berlin. The combination of practical experience in the hotel industry and a toolbox of sustainability skills led him to the Andreas Hermes Academy. As a Berlin native, he is the central contact person on site in Berlin. At the same time, he is the link between all departments, which he supports in planning, structuring, and organizing.
