Rainer Höll is an executive coach, he supports teams and
organizations on their path to self-organization, and he is one
of the pioneers of social entrepreneurship in Germany.

Rainer holds a Master of Public Administration from Harvard
University and looks back on a 15 year international career as a
professional and executive in the social innovation sector. For
the global NGO Ashoka, he founded and initiated more than 10
organizations and programs supporting social entrepreneurs and
the purpose economy – together with foundations, investors, the
federal government and companies like Google, Zalando and
McKinsey. He has also personally advised and supported more than
100 social entrepreneurs all over Europe.

As CEO of Ashoka Germany, Rainer transformed his own organization
into a completely distributed leadership model, abandoning all
formal hierarchies. The resulting model was a finalist of the
German New Work Award 2020. Also in 2020, he co-founded a network
of experts, the Inner Work Alliance, to share his experience
around self-managed organizations – and to raise awareness of the
key role of “inner work” for organizational transformation.

As a coach, Rainer works with executives, entrepreneurs, leaders
and top professionals in the for-profit and non-profit sector.
