About Jan-Patrick
Jan-Patrick got his first camera, a Porst pocketpak, when he was eight years old. During his childhood he traveled with his parents throughout Europe, always taking his little point-and-shoot camera with him. From these early years on he was fascinated by capturing the reflection of light on film. As an avid hiker and motorcycle rider, he has a keen interest in outdoor photography.
While his camera became a lifelong companion, the art of picture-taking never became his profession. Throughout his career, Jan-Patrick focused on building brands in the consumer goods space. Besides his work in Europe and the United States, for many years he lived in Tokyo from where he worked across the Asia Pacific Region.
A charismatic individual with a sixth sense for innovation, he is engaged in cultural and educational programs. He ran multiple campaigns with UNICEF and partnered with The Juilliard School. In the past, Jan-Patrick supported the “The 24-Hour Plays” on Broadway and the “The 24-Hour Plays: Los Angeles”. He was actively involved with Urban Arts Partnership, a New York-based organization providing an arts curriculum to underserved schools in the New York and Los Angeles public school system.
Jan-Patrick has lectured about global brand strategies at Harvard Business School, George Washington University, New York University and other universities. He has been featured on CBS, CNBC, NBC, Fox, Bloomberg TV, RTL, NHK and many other national as well as international media outlets. Educated in Europe and the United States, Jan-Patrick holds a BA in International Economics and an MBA in Finance and Organizational Behavior. He is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma.
