Following graduation and successful completion of military service Christof embarked on an exciting journey that started in childcare, continued in hospitality, evolved into private aviation, pivoted to executive coaching, and then transitioned into ultra-luxury real estate. In all his exciting adventures across two continents (Europe and North America), he met royalty, celebrities, heads of state, and many influential personalities who shaped the world as we see it. At the same time, he continues to remain humble and deeply grounded, has a great sense of humor, is grateful for the opportunities, and enthusiastic to engage, support, and elevate.
Regardless of distance or career responsibilities, he always kept in touch with the KTS, visited many times, and continues to be a resource and inspiration to many. He still vividly remembers being a student and brimming with excitement when graduates would come to visit and share their path, open up a window to the world, and paint the picture of what a future could look like. A wonderful way to pay it forward. This greatly impressed upon him and fueled his ambitions to endeavor above and beyond.
The wide array of teachings and studies at the KTS also enabled a broader reach post-graduation and Christof always felt that it set him up for success, no matter what direction he chose. Most of all, the 5 years in Warmbad Villach with all the wonderful students and faculty were a lot of fun and made for wonderful memories, forging friendships that still endure the test of time to date.
