Verne Harnish

Top speaker, growth guru, bestselling author, cofounder of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), founder of acknowledged worldwide initiatives for developing small and midsized companies … that’s Verne. For many years, we have been connected to him by more than just a special friendship. We were also the first to bring his teachings to Germany and make them accessible to the German-speaking market. Incidentally, Nikolai was the first certified coach for this methodology, and today is the only official German Gazelles coach.
