Christoph Franz

Swiss-German businessman

Christoph Franz built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Christoph Franz as Swiss-German businessman.

Christoph Franz was born at Frankfurt in 1960. His recorded nationality is Germany. He was educated at Technical University of Darmstadt and Emlyon Business School.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur, businessperson and management engineer.

His recorded affiliations include Deutsche Bahn and Hoffmann-La Roche.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the business was built from Germany shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Christoph Franz is still active, and the verdict on the career has not been reached.
