About Markus Husemann-Kopetzky

I'm a researcher, practitioner and teacher in the field of marketing and pricing. My personal mission is to help businesses grow with the power that lies hidden in academic research. Hundreds of brilliant researchers all over the world discover new insights every day that could give companies an edge beyond current practices. But these insights are usually buried in lengthy papers inaccessible to people who need them the most: entrepreneurs, managers, marketers, designers, and consultants in fields like retail, product development, hospitality, and (financial) services. I dive deep into the ocean of academic research, find and distill the practical core and translate it for businesses. 

My roots are in business, but I speak "academic". I hold a doctorate degree in business and economics, published in leading academic journals like the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science and Journal of Marketing Behavior and run research projects as an External Senior Research Fellow at the University of Paderborn, Germany. My professional experience spans 12+ years (still counting) in financial services, management consulting, and retail industries knee-deep in sales and pricing.
