Marcel Hagens

Following my career as a professional volleyball player, I started working in risk management and insurance, where the focus has increasingly shifted to EHS (Safety, Environment and Health). I now have more than 25 years of experience in international safety risk and crisis management and complex B2B consultancy. I have worked internationally for my clients, including more than 365 days in active war zones.

I am a driven, experienced manager who can quickly familiarize myself with a new environment and who has excellent client and project management skills. I am pragmatic and good at communicating with both the public and commercial sectors.
