When I became CEO, I just didn't think about my age too much. I'm sure many people did think that my age mattered, but I didn't. That was probably because of my age.

Every time a new CEO came, I got a promotion till I was made CEO myself.

When I joined in 1990, as they say in the sport of sailing, Puma was in the doldrums. It was a difficult time, and Puma had gone to sleep.

Be curious enough to keep an open mind to what's happening around you in society. You can look at yourself and the world at the same time.

For a long time, companies ignored the fact that 80 percent of sporting goods are sold to the casual consumer.

Let's recreate the equivalent of the Met Ball in Europe and, rather than for the museum, give the money to environmental causes.

We should bring in an environmental attitude, and I think luxury should automatically be about sustainability and quality.

In Africa, you can make three acres sustainable relatively easily, but 50,000 acres? It's not about picking up towels or sleeping in a tent.

If you look at the state of our planet, the next generations won't be around if we consider sustainability as a gimmick.
