Matthias Van Hove -- The Art of Leadership

Who is Matthias Van Hove? Matthias is an aerospace engineer and
holds an MBA degree from Collège des Ingénieurs. He has started his
a career at Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer, where he
currently works as customer manager. Matthias delivers new A320
Family aircraft to global players in the airline and aircraft
leasing markets. He strives to bring customer value to the heart of
his ambition while protecting on-time and on-quality aircraft
deliveries. Matthias smells jet fuel and sees aircraft rocket into
the sky every single day. However, he personally prefers to keep
his feet on the ground and keeps an eye onto not feeling too
self-important. Instead he feels privileged and grateful for the
team of people he is working with on a daily basis. Matthias
promotes an inclusive, empowering and rewarding leadership style.
Matthias was born in Luxembourg and currently lives in Hamburg,
Germany. He strongly believes in the European concept. Matthias is
convinced that Europe unites a unique and diverse blend of
cultures, talents and businesses that puts Europe in a pole
position for growth and innovation – while maintaining the guiding
principles of its founders: unity and solidarity. Matthias is a
passionate investor and he’s always willing to debate stock market
opportunities. While he fancies nerdy programming techniques, he’s
also into learning languages (six so far). Matthias will never say
no to a competitive game of Basketball and he will continue buying
quite some concert tickets to see the rising stars of the Blues,
Funk and Soul universe perform. What is this episode about? What
