About Dietrich Groth

Starting as a purchasing manager, then moving on to become the managing director for purchasing, SCM, and marketing, and eventually reaching the position of Sales & Marketing Board Member. Always deeply rooted in the non-food consumer goods industry, Dietrich has accompanied many careers and nurtured and developed individuals throughout his various roles. Over the years and in different capacities, he has built a robust network of inspiring personalities, many of whom still actively support and accompany Dietrich Groth in his role as a personnel consultant.
Traveling – especially to the beautiful countries of Southeast Asia, enjoying good food (and cooking), spending leisure time with friends while simply being human – these are the activities that recharge Dietrich’s batteries.
