Vita

Leonard Diepenbrock is an entrepreneur, designer, creative, speaker and was a presenter and reporter at RTL for 12 years. The long overdue turnaround of the family business resulted in a tough break ten years ago when Diepenbrock swapped the world of the rich and beautiful at RTL Exclusiv for a plastics production facility. The company TOX-Dübel-Technik (founded in 1941) has 110 employees and has undergone a dramatic transformation. This led to the creation of the vegan body care brand Jean&Len (philosophy: "no fuss") in 2013. The creams and shampoos are now available throughout Germany. The Harvard alumni has two children and lives in Cologne. His drive: "Life is about the people you meet and what you create with them". His customers include family businesses, media and international corporations. He regularly inspires his audience with ideas from practice. His inspirations are always rated with top marks. Leonard Diepenbrock encourages you to think "outside the box" and just get started.

HTA Event in Oxford


“Leonard Diepenbrock gave a lecture on innovation and change as part of a strategy meeting for our managers. His interesting CV and outstanding personality alone won us over from the start. The very entertaining presentation of his projects quickly made it clear to everyone that this is not about theory, but about doing things, which took the lecture to a different level. The topics covered were so convincing and impressive that we kept coming back to the topics and examples from the lecture during the course of the strategy meeting. We were really stimulated to think, something that had not been seen in previous lectures in this context.”
Rafael Baur, CEO, Wenglor (Sensorics, Baden-Württemberg)
