Dr. Nils Koenig
Welcome to my world of business communication, where I combine over 15 years of experience across corporate communication, change management, and international consulting. From external engagement with stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, and government authorities to internal communications and driving change within organizations, I’ve led projects and initiatives on a global scale, spanning over 60 countries.
I hold a B.Sc. in Management & Economics, an M.Sc. in Management, and a Dr. rer. pol. in International Management, where my research explored international corporate communication strategies and the evolving role of social media. My professional journey has taken me through diverse sectors, from leading change management and communications for KWS Group to pioneering social media strategies at Daimler AG. My global perspective has been further shaped through advisory roles for organizations like GIZ, the World Bank, and the Government of Laos, and through leading public diplomacy efforts at the British Embassy in Vientiane on behalf of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
Teaching and knowledge sharing are passions of mine. I’ve taught Marketing and Corporate Communications as a professor at the American University of Central Asia and have extensive experience delivering lectures, workshops, and conferences in both English and German. My teaching approach is highly interactive, blending theoretical knowledge with practical applications to ensure students are engaged and prepared for real-world challenges.
Throughout my career, I’ve been recognized for excellence in communication and leadership, with accolades such as the Best of Corporate Publishing Award and nominations for prestigious awards like the Economist Intelligence Unit Business Professor of the Year and UK Government Communicator of the Year.
Whether consulting for multinational companies, advising governments, or teaching the next generation of communicators, I’m committed to advancing the field of business communication in an ever-evolving, globalized world.
