Philipp Hahn's Biography

Philipp Hahn is an international keynote speaker and CEO of Rabl & Hahn, the disruptive management consultancy he founded in 2007. Based between Munich and Nevada (Las Vegas), he helps leaders cut through noise and execute transformation with speed, clarity and measurable impact.

Hahn lives transformation. Across 25+ years, he has led 550+ transformation projects and built a reputation for rolling up his sleeves writing concepts, designing measures, and, when it helps, joining teams on the road.

He is known for meeting organisations where the change actually happens. At Airbus, he personally met nearly 20,000 employees in workshops and roadshows, listening first and then turning insights into practical action. He brings that fieldwork onto the stage, from GENOKON 2019 to Electrolux Group’s Quality Night in May 2023.

Recognised by Handelsblatt as one of Europe’s Top 100 Excellent Speakers (2020), Hahn brings an unfiltered, often humorous style that challenges comfort zones. Buckle up for uncomfortable truths and unconventional solutions Philipp calls a spade a spade. His talks connect AI, global competition and leadership psychology with a clear call to build bold cultures where decisions are made using numbers, data and facts and where sustainability becomes strategy, with an ambition to move businesses toward circularity and climate neutrality.

Offstage, he brings the energy of a “true stage rock star”: Hahn is the singer of German heavy metal band Metopia and toured the USA in 2019–2020, releasing a concept album that turns change into music. He also supports the Casa Yohana Foundation, helping families in Peru’s Andahuaylas region.
