Marcel Riemer

Hello, Marcel here! I am teaching Persuasion, Leadership & Marketing-Psychology. In 2019 I became an Impact Entrepreneur in my hometown Berlin, Germany and co-founded my first venture SPRK.global. Our team participated in the 2020 Extreme Tech Challenge XTC and won the first price in the category "Smart Cities & Transportation"! My vision is to create a world without unnecessary waste by establishing a pragmatic & functioning circular economy. Our impact approach is: smart technology + business model + social purpose. I was born in Berlin, Germany, where I learned the art of cooking. Starting my profession at the tender age of 16, I ever since traveled the world, cooking in Hong Kong, broiling in Zurich, grilling in Kuala Lumpur, frying in San Diego, baking in Jakarta, sizzling in Beijing and many other places around the globe. I was part of world class teams at international luxury hotels and resorts such as Marriott International, Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Accor S.A., leading large teams of up to 120 cooks! The kitchen life taught me lessons the hard way. It was not all “rise and shine” along my rocky way. Tremendous obstacles had to be overcome. My comprehensive travels across 4 continents motivated me to write a book which is about the “normal every-day” chef, who goes out of his way to make people happy. With my book, “Slamming It Out!”, I share my unparalleled views. I give insights, lessons and share valuable tips, tricks and other tools which will help not only the beginner cook but also the experienced chef including food lovers from across the globe.
