Wigbert Walter

Network Partner

Back in the late 70s, I often felt like I didn’t quite fit the mold: the youngest in my class when I started school, left-handed but not inclined to "bend" to conformity, with ears that stuck out and a rather unusual first name. These differences shaped me early on, inspiring me to explore paths less traveled. I was constantly trying new things, testing limits, and embracing both victories and defeats. H.R. Kunze once wrote, “It is difficult to tread one’s own paths—they only emerge as you walk them.” This resonates deeply with me and continues to fuel my passion to this day. Few things bring me more joy than helping others navigate their personal journeys and witnessing their growth along the way.

Three questions for Wigbert Walter

Head or gut?
Give me a sec: at the very least – gut!

Can we get rid of it?
If we’ve “always done it this way”, that could very well be the case.

Something that needs to be invented:
World peace.
