David Schafft

„After changing location, Kiel University of Applied Sciences became my academic home. The passion and approachability of the professors make the difference: passion shines through, topics are current and there is room for development. ISPE gave me the toolkit that I use as a consultant in various industries, and also took me to Shanghai and FS racetracks.”.“
