BC – COM-team member: Axel Kirchhofer

I joined Bayer Business Consulting as a consultant in March 2010. My work so far focused on projects in the field of R&D for Bayer HealthCare. As part of the BC COM-team in addition to the daily project work I am particularly responsible to manage the Bayer Business Consulting Facebook site.

After graduation from university I looked for opportunities to combine my education in science with my interest in economics. Therefore, starting as a consultant in an internationally leading life science company was the perfect combination. At the beginning I thought the step from science to consulting is a not an easy one. But during the first months I noticed that both disciplines require a common set of skills. As a scientist I learned to analyze and understand complex systems and tried to make use of this newly acquired knowledge. These set of skills are now also very important during my work here at Bayer Business Consulting.

Before I joint Bayer I studied Biochemistry in Munich, Tuebingen and at the California State University. I gathered experience in the field of drug discovery as a graduate student for Sanofi-Aventis and worked as an intern for Roland Berger Strategy Consultants.

I am looking forward to another exciting year with Bayer Business Consulting on Facebook and hope that we can provide you with even more interesting topics and information and give answers to your questions. Your engagement and input on this site is always highly welcome!
