Meet the team
Philipp Humm
Founder & Principal
An introvert by nature, Philipp’s mission is to help anyone unleash the storyteller within.
Prior to starting his own storytelling business, Philipp worked for ten years in various roles, including Product Management at Uber, Consulting at Bain & Company, and Investment Banking at Blackstone.
He discovered his passion for performance arts (acting, improv & storytelling) in his time in NY while completing his MBA at Columbia Business School.
He has published the two #1 bestsellers, The StorySelling Method and Public Speaking With Confidence.
In his free time, Philipp shares stories at open mic nights in Amsterdam, moves his hips at regular Bachata parties, and plays Spikeball with friends.

Say hi to Jakob, the friendly face behind our presentation skills workshops.
Trained as a facilitator at Dale Carnegie, Jakob knows how to gently push participants out of their comfort and turn complex ideas into fun learning experiences.
