Oliver Kahn
Three-time World Goalkeeper of the Year. Chief Executive of FC Bayern Munich from 2020 to 2023. Founder of six companies. His first executive keynote in Africa. · FC Bayern Munich
The future belongs to those who constantly reinvent themselves.
Most people who speak about leadership have led from one seat. Kahn has led from four — as a captain, as an analyst who had to explain the game publicly for twelve years, as the chief executive of one of the largest clubs in world sport, and as an entrepreneur building companies of his own. He speaks about peak performance, about defeat, and about the route back: clarity under pressure, handling setbacks, and getting the best from the people around you.
