My name is Patrick John Mueller. Thank you for your interest in me and my services.

I was born in Munich in 1969, have been married for 30 years, and have two adult sons. I am a consultant and business coach.

Technological and economic developments, as well as advances in healthcare, have brought us prosperity and long life. I am grateful for that. However, consideration has sometimes fallen by the wayside: consideration for nature, mutual consideration, and consideration for what is good for us and makes us happy. These are aspects that I focus on—as a coach and as a person.

In my ventures and projects, it is important to me that technology, people, and processes are given equal consideration. I have held this view since I started my career at Fraunhofer IAO. It has been a common thread throughout my professional career to date.

I stand for respectful cooperation, a structured approach, sustainable practices, and enjoyment at work. Working with interesting people inspires me.

I love sports, hiking and nature. I am interested in topics related to our health, our subconscious, and old cultures.

I found guidance in a turbulent world from philosophers, spiritual masters, and the great minds of physics.
