Holger is known to many in the LGBTIQ scene not only as a successful banker, but also as the former spokesperson for Commerzbank’s LGBTIQ network Arco. While still a banker, he was twice part of Germany’s TOP 100 Out Executives list, was a member of the RAHM jury and, as spokesperson for Arco, played a key role in developing the network into a career network within Commerzbank. Since October 2020, Holger has been responsible on the board of the Völklinger Kreis, the professional association for gay executives and self-employed people, for the Future Leaders programme, which supports young gay talents with mentoring, training and coaching to launch their careers.
