Dr. Jens Mueffelmann

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do," Steve Jobs once advised. That is easy to say but not always easy to achieve. I am lucky to be able to say that I love what I do (and do what I love). In my personal life, sailing, fishing, boating, cruising, and motorsports are a few of the ways I spend my precious downtime. In a way, my passions have become my profession at Bonnier Corp. But that’s what makes Bonnier Corp. unique—our customers' passions are our passions and we get to live them every day.
