ABOUT THOMAS MEHLS

For me, leadership is about creating a vision, empowering teams, and building businesses that make a meaningful impact – not just in markets, but in people’s lives. Over the past 12+ years at CEWE, I’ve had the honor of working with extraordinary colleagues to grow one of Europe’s leading e-commerce companies, setting the standard in photo and online printing. Together, we’ve built something that goes beyond financial results – a company that prioritizes sustainability, innovation, and customer-centered excellence. I’ve always believed that the heart of any business lies in its people. Whether working with teams in Europe, Asia, or Latin America, I’ve seen firsthand how collaboration across cultures and perspectives can drive extraordinary outcomes. For me, success is about fostering trust, encouraging bold ideas, and creating a culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best. Sustainability is more than a responsibility – it’s an opportunity to build something lasting. Topics like ESG and CSRD inspire me to approach leadership holistically, balancing growth with accountability for our planet and society. I’m passionate about finding ways to integrate purpose into strategy, ensuring that every step forward is aligned with a greater good. My journey has always been about transformation – taking challenges as opportunities to innovate, grow, and make a difference. Whether it’s as a leader, a strategist, or just someone who’s endlessly curious, I’m driven by one simple question: How can we create something better for the future? If you share similar passions or ideas, I’d love to connect and exchange perspectives. After all, the real magic happens when we work together.
