Unsere Werte
GLOBAL:
Wir streben danach, global und vielfältig zu sein, indem wir Kunden und Talente aus vielen Bereichen und Regionen, sowie mit unterschiedlichen Hintergründen und Disziplinen anziehen.
“Mein erstes Jahr bei Singular war ein großes Abenteuer. Die Entwicklung der Strategie für ein brasilianisches Bergbauunternehmen, das Konzipieren neuer Geschäftsmodelle für ein ukrainisches Landwirtschaftsunternehmen und das Überdenken der Organisationsstruktur eines afrikanischen Konzerns waren einige der Highlights. Vor Singular hätte ich nie gedacht, dass ich mit einem Hubschrauber durch den Kongo fliegen würde, um zur Arbeit zu gelangen.”
– Dennis
Unternehmerisch:
Unser unternehmerisches Denken treibt uns an, ständig über unsere Grenzen hinauszuwachsen und neue Wege zu gehen. Es ermöglicht es uns, sehr praktisch und pragmatisch zu sein sowie eine „can do“-Haltung zu verkörpern.
“Warum ich so begeistert von Singulars Geschäftsmodell bin? Einfach. Dies ist ein schnelllebiges und schnell wachsendes Umfeld. Ein Ort, an dem man neue Möglichkeiten schaffen und seine Ideen jeden Tag in die Tat umsetzen kann. Es ist die perfekte Kombination aus unternehmerischen Werten und einem gut vernetzten globalen Expertenteam. Darüber hinaus ist die Wirkung, die wir in den Schwellenländern durch die Erschließung von Mehrwerten in den Kernsektoren schaffen, wirklich inspirierend.”
– Olalla
Engagiert:
Wir sind ein vertrauensvoller Partner füreinander, für unsere Kunden und für unsere Investoren. Dies wurde durch den fundierten Aufbau und die langjährige Pflege von Beziehungen erreicht. Darüber hinaus sind wir stets bestrebt, unsere Kunden flexibel und qualitativ hochwertig zu unterstützen und zu befähigen erfolgreich zu sein.
“Das Besondere an der Arbeit bei Singular ist, dass wir eine nicht-hierarchische Organisation sind. Die meisten jungen Leute in einem Team werden ermutigt, ihre Meinung zu äußern, Fragen zu stellen und Lösungen vorzuschlagen. Als Junior Associate hatte ich die Möglichkeit, die Singular Energieplattform zu betreiben. Ich habe meine Ergebnisse vor dem Top-Management präsentiert und mit hochqualifizierten Fachleuten auf der ganzen Welt zusammengearbeitet, um interne Fähigkeiten aufzubauen.”

Führungsteam
“Connecting markets around the world, working with inspiring entrepreneurs and observing the increasing speed of globalization gets me excited. I believe that Singular is very successful at playing along all these lines – our work leads to great results, entrepreneurial achievement and personal fulfilment.”
Although based in Germany, Florian spends most of his time on the road. As Director, his activities focus on Africa, the Middle East and Europe. “The combination of emerging markets and well-established economies allows a high degree of knowledge transfer in both directions – we observe great results triggered by this two-way exchange.” The opportunity to also combine consulting services and services in the investment space was one of the major reasons for Florian to help build Singular: “In our interaction with clients, we see a lot of value in being able to alternate between both perspectives.” Florian began his career at The Boston Consulting Group, where he quickly became part of the Industrial Goods leadership team. Initially based in Germany, he worked across a number of regions including the Americas, Africa and Europe before relocating to BCG’s Kiev office network for a further three years, setting up the company’s agriculture practice among other achievements. Overall, Florian looks back on more than 12 years in consulting and entrepreneurship.
„The analytical rigor of strategy consulting paired with the execution-driven pragmatism of entrepreneurship is what excites me about Singular. Working at Singular means playing to win, being hands-on and delivering tangible results for clients moving boundaries.“

“The entrepreneurial mind-set is believed to be the very essence of Singular’s value proposition – we strive to create impact in emerging markets, and to be a platform to unlock entrepreneurial growth.”
As Director at Singular and head of its African operations, Lorenzo is motivated by the drive to build businesses that leave a tangible trail, whilst allowing entrepreneurs to do what they love, with a degree of freedom from traditional corporate constraints. “One of the best rewards we have had over the past few years is that we have encouraged our employees, alumni and clients’ key individuals to venture and succeed in new entrepreneurial projects they would never have considered before.” For Lorenzo, the concept of “resource productivity technologies” is intriguing, as well as the ability to “do more with less” in the realm of energy and natural resources. His technology investments/commercialisation efforts revolve around these themes. Lorenzo began his career at Bain & Company in Milano before moving across to Paris as a member of Bain’s Private Equity Group. Lorenzo holds an MBA from the London Business School and a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. He is a proud member of the Young President Organization (YPO) in Johannesburg. Overall, Lorenzo looks back at more than a decade in consulting, entrepreneurship and investing and at a professional career spanning across 10 countries and 4 continents.
“Why am I so excited about Singular’s business model? Easy. This is a fast-paced, fast-growing environment. A place where you are required to build new opportunities and where you can see your ideas translating into reality every day. It’s the perfect combination between entrepreneurial values and a well-connected global team of experts. And on top of that, the impact we are bringing to emerging economies by unlocking value in core sectors is truly inspirational.”
Anneline joined Singular seeking an environment that provided intellectual stimulation and fast-paced action. “I was effecting one aspect, in one plant, in one region at a time. I came to Singular to solve problems and make a difference on a much larger level,” she says. Ultimately, her experience has met and exceeded her expectations – from working on a variety of topics, such as developing a foundation’s strategy, to supporting an organizational restructure of a mining client. Anneline holds a Masters in Chemical Engineering from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Based out of Johannesburg, Anneline is leading our African consulting team.
