Your favourite poet?
Poetry is not for me.

Your favourite writer?
Johann (alias Prof. Werner Bunz)

Which three books would you most recommend?
  • Everything by Alfred Kubin, but particularly The Prophet Daniel (“Der Prophet Daniel”) – if only for the amazing illustrations
  • Nellanutella by Gelatin – as a good example of how unconventional thinking can also be well structured
  • The Kronenzeitung Kochbuch – the first Austrian cookbook ever (only available in Austria), so that we exiles need not starve.


Why are you a partner at Atlas Management?
It was always my goal to become self-employed. Atlas Management provided the right combination of the right people at the right time.

What other goals do you hope to achieve?
Professional: To organise an extensive project in a completely different society.
Personal: I’d like to experience many more positive things whose existence I’m not even aware of yet.

How would you like to spend your retirement?
Retirement? I’ll think about this question when I’m dead.

What is your favourite activity, apart from working?
Fiddling and tinkering with things. But preferably not with my colleague Peter, since I don’t have a clue about motorised objects.

What is your motto?
Nothing comes from nothing.
