The Author
Markus Lücke – Born 1965 – Abitur 1985 – Following his service in the Federal Armed Forces and a traditional apprenticeship in banking, he pursued an academic path in Business Administration. In 1992, this academic engagement was cut short in favor of immediate entrepreneurial practice, during which he received extensive guidance from his mentor, the founder of BBDO, Prof. Vilim Vasata.
The subsequent decades were shaped by real operational responsibility within strategic alliances and high-profile circles of shareholders:
United Arts Kunsthandel GmbH / United Arts Projektmanagement AG: Operational leadership as shareholder-managing director as well as chairman of the management board and shareholder. The strategic course was set in close entrepreneurial symbiosis with fellow shareholder, co-stockholder, and gallerist Ludwig Kleebolte (galerie-kleebolte.de).
celadon.net GmbH: Establishment and management as managing shareholder alongside his business partner Franz Josef Wernze, tax advisor, founder, and defining figure of the ETL Group (etl.de).
Additionally, he could be found acting as "receptionist" and providing support in the veterinary practice of his former wife, Gritli-Catrina Barich.
Today, having withdrawn from active corporate life and free from the constraints of the corporate career machinery, his exclusive focus belongs to the incorruptible analysis of the markets. He publishes these forensic analyses and valuations exclusively on www.talktalks.de.
