Professor Dr. Thomas Suwelack

In master’s degree program Brand Innovation Dr. Thomas Suwelack heads the Marketing & Innovation focus as Professor for Digital Customer Experience.

His subjects include Digital Customer Experiences, Digital Branding & Marketing, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies & Development.

His path led him from studying business administration at the University of Münster to a doctorate at the Institute of Marketing at the University of Münster.

Dr. Thomas Suwelack on his new position as Professor for Digital Customer Experience:

“For me, being a professor primarily means to accompany young, curious people on their way into a still unknown professional future and to prepare them optimally for future challenges. Thanks to many years of practical experience in the business world – especially through my work as a management consultant – I am familiar with the multi-faceted requirements of today’s working world, which I would like to address through an interdisciplinary spectrum of teaching and learning content.

In addition to teaching important concepts and methods, I focus on the training of the following skills: communication skills, teamwork & flexibility, independent learning, critical and problem-oriented thinking, creativity, digital skills and knowledge management.”
