ABOUT KARSTEN XANDER
You\'re running a strong TIC company and believe it can go even further — without losing its independence?At CERTANIA, we unite mid-sized leaders in Testing, Inspection & Certification who want to grow, innovate, and shape the future of health and sustainability.As a leader, I care about clarity, real impact, and building strong partnerships. I’ve spent more than ten years in the TIC industry – including on the Executive Board of TÜV SÜD – and know this world inside out: from hands-on operations to international expansion, from restructuring to M&A.My path started in strategy consulting, but what defines me is a leadership style that\'s clear-headed, pragmatic, and people-first. I’ve lived and worked abroad, including several years in the U.S, and have led international businesses across industrial and infrastructure sectors.At CERTANIA, I now work with TIC entrepreneurs who want to grow without giving up what makes them unique. As Co-CEO, my goal is to help them scale – with a global platform built for long-term value, not short-term wins.
