Markus Sutor began his studies in business management at Munich's Ludwig Maximilian University before completing his degree at the distance-learning university in Hagen, thus enabling him to fulfil his professional obligations at the same time. He was involved in a number of start-up projects during his student days. Among other things, he founded a printing service company with operations throughout Germany and a local graphics & advertising agency, both of which he sold in 2009/2010. His other investments have included nationally renowned companies based in the food and IT sector, in which he is a silent partner. During his many years of entrepreneurial activity he gleaned an in-depth knowledge of company set-up, expansion and personnel management, and is now a managing partner at LSG & Kollegen GmbH. His extensive experience in the field of owner-managed SMEs made him an expert in the “problem area” of company succession and the existing gap in placing managers who are a perfect match for the company in question. This gave him the idea of providing a consulting service tailored specifically to these requirements. In addition to his work as a managing partner, Markus Alfons Sutor's specialist know-how and network are put to good use in the field of executive search in the Consumer Goods sector.
