In Episode 3 of HIGHFLYER the Podcast, host Ronald Schuster talks to Timo Müller, General Manager at EK-Pack Folien GmbH, about stepping up, embracing uncertainty, and turning change into opportunity.
Timo’s journey led him from key commercial roles in sales all the way to general management. Today, he’s not just responsible for performance and operations — he’s shaping vision, culture, and leadership in a time of transformation.
What sets Timo apart is his natural interest in the bigger picture. Even early in his sales career, he was eager to understand how different parts of the business connect. His move into leadership was driven by a desire to shape culture, strategy, and collaboration across departments.
He shares how he made the bold decision to relocate with his young family, the role trust plays in leadership, and why no real transformation happens without a committed team.
