7 personal questions for Daniel Kutschenko.

How do you start the day?

As a father – our two boys are one and five years old – I have discovered the morning hours for myself.
My ‘me time’ starts at 6 a.m. from Monday to Friday – when everyone else is still slumbering peacefully – with meditation, journaling and jogging, alternating with fitness. This puts me in a positive frame of mind and I’m ready for whatever the day brings.
Then I have an oat milk shake, get the kids ready and walk to the nearby daycare centre. Then it’s off by car to the office 20 minutes away – for the first calls or podcasts, such as IT News or Steingart’s Morning Briefing – where the first espresso and the morning team meeting await.

What would your colleagues say about you?

That I am usually in a good mood, genuinely interested in them and ‘on the pitch’.

Where there is light, there is also shadow. What can annoy others about you?

That I always prefer to tackle problems and to dos immediately, if only to get them out of my head. My follow-ups can get on my nerves.

What is your favourite question in interviews that you ask candidates for clients?

I see it as a great privilege to immerse myself in the world of my interviewees with confidence. Accordingly, I like to ask about my interviewee’s personal recipe for success in interviews. This also enables me to better assess whether the person and the company on whose behalf I am looking for talent can be successful together…and I always learn something new along the way.

Why are you a personnel consultant?

I see my role as a ‘marriage counsellor for managers’. At its core, it is about understanding people and organisations and I find it fulfilling to literally ‘bring together what belongs together’.

Do you have a quirk in your private life?

I always meticulously organise my fridge (whether at home or at work) according to a special system: by category, best-before date and with the packaging facing forwards. My professional background is in consumer goods marketing and certainly can’t be completely denied…

Auf welche drei Dinge möchtest du nicht verzichten?

My family, my running shoes and my smartphone – if only for the podcasts
