Keynotes for executives in Herzogenaurach
More than just a keynote speech
A professional keynote speaker in Herzogenaurach sets the tone for your entire event. Whether it is an annual conference, a leadership meeting or a corporate event at Schaeffler, Adidas or Puma, the point is to turn expert knowledge into impact. What does a keynote speaker cost? Fees vary with expertise and profile. Professional speakers in Germany typically charge between €4,500 and €12,000. My fee is between €5,000 and €9,000. You are not just investing in 60 minutes of stage time, but in years of experience and the lasting motivation of your team.
Who I am
The strategic impetus for your event in Herzogenaurach
My name is Tim S. Tabrizi. As Group CEO of infoteam Software AG in Bubenreuth – just 20 kilometres from Herzogenaurach – and former member of the Executive Board of WS Audiology (formerly Siemens’ audiology business), I have first-hand knowledge of the entrepreneurial challenges facing the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. Herzogenaurach, home to global brands like adidas, Puma, and Schaeffler, is a unique business location that demands forward-looking initiatives. With 28 years of professional experience, including over 20 years in leadership positions, and a Global Executive MBA from IESE Business School, I offer perspectives that combine theory and practice – directly applicable for decision-makers in Herzogenaurach and Middle Franconia.
Presentations that are tailored to you and your needs
More interaction and commitment from your employees
Lasting inspiration and motivation for the audience
Combined expertise
My panel of experts for your success
Behind each of my keynotes is not only more than 20 years of leadership experience, but also the combined intelligence of a pool of 35 experts. As part of Ihr Coaching Institut I draw on the expertise of specialists from business, sport and science when preparing your event. This synergy allows me to underpin my core topics of accountability & decision-making culture with a depth that goes far beyond conventional motivational talks.
The three pillars of my network
Strategic clarity, mental composure, scientific depth
Strategic clarity: Access to the expertise of top decision-makers such as Heinrich von Pierer (former Siemens CEO).
Mental composure: Methodical exchange with professionals in high-pressure situations such as Urs Meier (FIFA referee).
Scientific depth: Scientific grounding from experts such as Dr Carlos Davidovich (Harvard Medical School Affiliate).
You book me as a speaker – and at the same time benefit from the experience of a network of 35 coaches and specialists. The insights are scientifically grounded and proven in practice.
What do I bring to the table as a keynote speaker?
What companies take away: concrete input on accountability, decisiveness and leadership – not a motivational show. I have developed this skill over 20 years on stage: in front of DAX board members, at Kuraray Europe in Hattersheim, and before sales teams at Siemens Healthineers. I tailor each keynote individually – to your audience, your industry and the strategic questions currently driving your company. References: I would be happy to put you in direct contact.
Core topic: ACCOUNTABILITY & DECISION-MAKING CULTURE
My speciality as a keynote speaker for 20 years: How leaders take responsibility, make decisions, and deal with the consequences.

Leadership
As an experienced executive and coach, I share essential knowledge for today's leaders, highlight specific requirements and provide practical tips and methods for successful team leadership. My approach encourages reflection on and development of your personal leadership style, supported by a practical presentation style.
Resilience
Success depends not only on utilising one's own strengths, but above all on consistency and dealing with losses. I offer food for thought and shed light on new aspects of crises to encourage reflection. The aim is to support you in developing inner strength and effectively utilising hidden potential in crises.
Change Management
As a change expert, I use well-founded, lively presentations to make you a change-ready professional. We look at how to embrace change successfully, overcome resistance and adapt to new trends – at the level of the organisation and of each employee. This knowledge is valuable to any organisation.
Innovation
Anyone who wants to move forward has to keep reinventing themselves. Drawing on my experience on executive boards, I show you paths to innovation, combined with inspiring stories and strategies for your company. The aim is for you to implement ideas effectively.

Tailor-made for companies in Herzogenaurach and Middle Franconia
How I prepare for your event
Each of my keynotes is created anew – for your audience, your industry, your goals. Before I go on stage, I hold briefings with your team, analyse your challenges and develop content that is a perfect fit for your event. The result: not a standard presentation, but a keynote that speaks directly to your participants. At Siemens Healthineers, I focused on decision-making culture in matrix organisations. At Kuraray Europe, the focus was on accountability in intercultural teams. At Porsche, it was about leadership under pressure to change. Each time a different focus – always based on my core topic.
Expert through and through:
My expertise doesn't come from books, but from 28 years of professional experience – over 20 of them in leadership positions – in medical technology, telecommunications, and software. As a member of the Executive Board at WS Audiology (formerly Siemens’ audiology business), I led teams through restructuring and oversaw international expansions. Today, I am also the owner and managing director of Ihr Coaching Institut. This knowledge informs every keynote address – with concrete examples from my own experience.
Holding attention:
Before every keynote, I invest several hours in research: I read your annual reports, talk to your contacts and analyse the challenges in your industry. This enables me to give examples on stage that your audience will recognise immediately.
Immerse yourself in a new world:
My keynotes are not one-way lectures. I work with targeted questions, live reflections and moments in which the audience itself becomes active. The feedback from event managers like Maria Serova (Siemens): “The audience was captivated from start to finish.”
Closer to reality:
The test of a good keynote is not the applause, but what happens afterwards. My goal is for managers to make different decisions the next day. That's why I end every keynote with concrete impulses for action – not abstract motivational slogans, but actionable next steps.
Finding the right keynote speaker
My focus is accountability and decision-making culture – ideal for leadership conferences, kick-offs, strategy meetings and change processes. If your audience is to act differently after the keynote than before, it is best that we talk beforehand. Especially in Herzogenaurach – a global centre of the sporting goods and automotive supply industries – you need a speaker who understands the dynamics of international corporations.
20 years on the stages of top decision-makers in Herzogenaurach and worldwide
Our company faced major challenges in the area of digitalisation. We were looking for an expert who could show us the way. Mr Tabrizi not only impressively presented his expertise, but also gave us practical tips and strategies to successfully master the digital transformation. A worthwhile investment for any company!
– Laura Kullmann, Head of IT, Porsche
I was impressed by the positive energy of the speaker, Mr Tabrizi. His personal stories, case studies and experiences showed me that you can draw strength even in difficult times.

– Stefan Moser, Participant, Henkel
The presentation was simply authentic, very clear and impressive! Tim's deep insights and words captivated our audience from start to finish.

– Maria Serova, Event Manager, Siemens
As a manager, I was looking for a speaker who would motivate and inspire my team. Mr Tabrizi did just that and much more in a two-hour presentation yesterday!

We are infinitely grateful to him for this and look forward to working with him in the future!
– Michael Lehmann, Team Leader, T-Systems
Exactly what your event needs:
Over 60% of my keynote speaker engagements in Herzogenaurach and across Germany come from companies that have already booked me. This loyalty stems from measurable impact: executives report concrete changes in their teams' behaviour – from increased personal responsibility to bolder decision-making.
Thoughts that stay with you:
What participants say after my keynotes:
“The next day, I had the first of the difficult conversations I had been putting off for months.” – Participant, Henkel management conference. “The keynote triggered a discussion that we should have had long ago.” – Managing Director, SME.
That is my benchmark: not standing ovations, but change in everyday life. If managers tell me weeks later what they are doing differently – then the keynote was a success.

As a keynote speaker and adviser, I work to the highest quality standards and with full transparency. My work is embedded in the expertise of Ihr Coaching Institut, a network of 35 specialised coaches and mentors. This backing allows me to underpin topics such as accountability and leadership with the methodological depth of an established institute.

My path to becoming a keynote speaker
Alongside 28 years of professional experience, including over 20 years in leadership roles – currently as Group CEO of infoteam Software AG, previously as a member of the Executive Board at WS Audiology (formerly Siemens’ audiology business) – I have been a keynote speaker since 2006. What began as occasional presentations for industry colleagues has become my calling: to communicate complex leadership topics in a way that resonates with everyday practice. Today, I speak to DAX board members, representatives of medium-sized businesses, and international teams – from Frankfurt to Tokyo. In 2017, I received the Best Speaker Award at the BME Symposium, and in 2021, I received the same award from OptiBuy. What motivates me is not the applause, but the conversations afterward: when leaders tell me what changes they have implemented.

I share my knowledge not only on stage. As a specialist author, I write regularly for publications such as “Arbeit und Arbeitsrecht” – on topics including toxic leadership, decision-making culture and accountability in organisations.
Selected publications:
