Thomas was a member of the Ringier Executive Board at the same time as I was. First as Head of Eastern Europe/Asia, then later responsible for Business Media and Asia. These terms in no way conclusively describe Thomas’s field of activity – he took all other responsibilities for himself.
He was unconventional, liked to rock the boat, always on the lookout for new opportunities, always on the go, a deal maker, more of a truffle pig than a hunting dog, could be disciplined by few people, a gourmet.
But above all, and still to this day: a friend you can count on.
