Thomas Wagner

Executive Board, B&O Service

Driven by a passion for inspiring people and creating meaningful structures, I have built my career around shaping organisations, enabling growth, and delivering value through purposeful change. My professional path combines academic foundations with extensive hands-on experience across multiple sectors, particularly in construction, skilled trades, and the housing industry.

I have led and steered a decentralized company with around 2,000 employees and more than ten subsidiaries, developing strategic perspectives on sustainability and establishing scalable finance and HR structures for growth-oriented organizations. My background also includes building B2B sales frameworks, negotiating and structuring complex contracts, and assessing legal matters with confidence.

Beyond technical expertise, I am known for bridging the “old” and “new” economy, connecting generations within organizations, and approaching every challenge with high commitment, a hands-on mentality, and a strong desire to create impact. With a fast learning curve, strong communication and persuasion skills, and a readiness to travel, I bring both mindset and capability to drive meaningful transformation.
