Working in a very, very, very bad company | Jörn Leogrande | TEDxWHU

Jörn Leogrande studied German Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. Since the early 90's years he worked first as a freelance journalist and later as a copywriter and marketing specialist. In 2005 Leogrande took a position in Marketing at the Wirecard AG and became Head of Marketing. After further top positions in product development he was promoted to global EVP of the innovation department in 2017. Throughout his career Jörn reported directly to CEO Markus Braun and has worked closely with COO Jan Marsalek. He stayed with Wirecard until August 2020. In February 2021 Leogrande published the book “Bad Company” about his career at Wirecard. The publication quickly became a Spiegel-Bestseller – film rights were sold to an American studio.

Jörn lives with his wife and two children near Munich. He works as a consultant and author. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
