First-Hand Advice You Can Trust

Schnappauf Con­sul­ting was foun­ded by Dr. Wer­ner Schnappauf and his exper­tise is at the company’s core. His deca­des of expe­ri­ence in the key domains of poli­tics and law, busi­ness and indus­try, envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion and con­ser­va­tion, and sus­tainable deve­lo­p­ment make for a uni­que pro­file. Com­bi­ning poli­ti­cal and eco­no­mic insights, he will deve­lop sus­tainable solu­ti­ons tail­o­red to your needs.

Shaping the Future Together

Even a good stra­tegy can only suc­cee­dif imple­men­ted wit­hout delay. Our solu­ti­ons are prac­ti­cal and achie­va­ble because they take into account the indi­vi­dual con­text. We will work clo­sely with you — moving for­ward tog­e­ther yields bet­ter results.

„Even a good strategy can only succeed if implemented without delay. Our solutions are practical and achievable because they take into account the individual context. We will work closely with you — moving forward together yields better results.“

Speaking the Languages of Politics and Business

Dr Wer­ner Schnappauf is flu­ent in the lan­guages of both poli­tics and busi­ness. Due to his pre­vious posi­ti­ons, state minis­ter on the one hand, and CEO and mem­ber of the pre­si­dium of the Fede­ra­tion of Ger­man Indus­tries BDI, on the other, he is able to “trans­late” bet­ween the worlds. His expe­ri­ence informs his cur­rent work every day –both as part­ner at the law firm GvW Graf von West­pha­len and as Senior Advi­sor to Bank of Ame­rica.
Through his com­pre­hen­sive per­spec­tive, he is always aiming to achieve a respon­si­ble balance bet­ween busi­ness, the envi­ron­ment, and social con­cerns.

“I believe that the world of tomor­row will be able to unite society, busi­ness, and the envi­ron­ment more suc­cessfully than ever before. I would like to con­tri­bute my expe­ri­ence whe­re­ver I can to help estab­lish a new foun­da­tion for life and busi­ness. We can create a bright future tog­e­ther.”
