FIFA World Cup in Germany, UEFA EURO in Austria and Switzerland, the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver and the Summer Olympic Games in London.
Markus Leonhard’s references, residences and workplaces are amazing. So it had spread out fast that on 12. November, students from all faculties were invited to this remarkable keynote speech issued under the entrepreneurship seminar. Once the speaker, Markus Leonard, took the floor, he had the students’ undivided attention for the next two hours. Markus Leonhard is one of the two founders and Managing Directors of SOLID – Event Management + Consulting. SOLID stands for SOLutions and Ideas – this motto was visible throughout the entire presentation: entrepreneurship means taking up a business with the right attitude – both professionally and privately.
That afternoon, Markus Leonhard’s body of experience has infected anyone how didn’t already know what passion for the business is. Although or perhaps specifically because of the company consists of only two dedicated professionals, it has developed a huge expertise. Markus Leonhard and his colleague Philipp Groborsch offer three pillars of services: Event Planning and Operations, Event Consulting and Event Bidding. 2006 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008, Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Innsbruck 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games and London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are big numbers – too big for the young graduates? No way! Also Markus Leonhard’s early days began with proactive assistance in the community (e.g. organizational work for Basketball tournaments) and internships.
