Born in Germany and graduated with a master’s in mathematics and Computer Science from Oxford University, United Kingdom, he has since travelled the world and gained work experience in education and management in various countries, including Germany, the UK, Singapore, Russia, Taiwan, Thailand, Cambodia and Hong Kong. He co-founded the educational social enterprise ICE in 2011 and grew it by 500%. He rejects discrimination and tribalism, and he believes that meaningful experiences and cross-cultural friendship will make the world a better place. He also co-founded Storius, a travel tech company and mobile app that brings self-guided audio tours to travellers’ pockets and democratises cultural heritage. In his free time, he is busy running a hiking community as well as a youth philosophy club, and annoying friends and colleagues by citing scientific studies on every conceivable topic.
As ICE’s main trainer and Director, Till educated and trained youth from 100+ countries in international conferences, and was invited as TEDx speaker on multiple occasions and co-organised a social innovation conference in UN’s Geneva office. With 15 years of experience as a trainer and public speaker, and 10 years of experience running and growing a social enterprise, Till can combine insights from the world of youth training and non-profits as well as the social business sector in Hong Kong.
Till participated in SSILP as a fellow in 2023 and later served as a mentor in 2025.
