What is QX?Become a Member!

WE BELIEVE...

…that Human Quality is becoming the scarcest resource of our time.

That’s why we create spaces where people inspire, support, and bring out the best in one another.

More than 2,500 individuals, from emerging talent to seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders, form a multigenerational Leadership Society where trust and impact are the foundation of meaningful connection.

This distinctive QX culture has evolved over more than three decades: Intelligent. Warm. Driven by high standards.

A circle where being human isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s leadership at its best.

 

WHAT THIS CREATES…

Access to exceptional people, ideas, and opportunities.

From your first internship to a seat on a supervisory board. From entrepreneurial ambition to leadership in family businesses, private equity, or global corporations.

We create spaces for connections that shape careers, strengthen businesses, or simply bring joy.

Because we believe the best opportunities rarely come from algorithms. They come from people who trust one another and bring out the best in each other.

Some call it networking.

We call it: The one connection that changes everything.

What does QX mean to you?

Prof. Heidi Stopper

ehem. Vorstand, ProsiebenSat1 und Airbus

„QX ist weit mehr als nur ein förderndes Netzwerk. Es ist die einzigartige Kombination zwischen Ambition auf ausschließlich das Beste ohne dabei althergebrachte Pfade zu betreten und einem einladenden, offenen und zutiefst menschlichen Spirit. Immer eine Freude und Begeisterung!“

Prof. Gunther Friedl

Geschäftsführer, Dieter Schwarz Stiftung

„Für mich ist das wie Heimkommen. Junge und alte Leute aus den unterschiedlichsten Hintergründen kommen zusammen und diskutieren darüber, was das Leben so lebenswert macht.“

Jan-Hendrik Goldbeck

Managing Director, Goldbeck Group

„QX ist wie Heimkommen und so sein wie man ist.“

Timm Richter

CEO, Neo Culture GmbH (ehem. Vorstand, Xing SE)

„Die Mischung aus Exzellenz, Neugierde, Wärme und Lebensfreude hat mich angezogen. QX strahlt für mich das Savoir Vivre aus: Lebensgenuss mit ernsten Themen und tiefgehenden Gesprächen bei einem Glas Rotwein zu verbinden.“

Michael Löhner

DAX40-Vorstandscoach

„Eine intelligente Möglichkeit, Menschen in einer eigenen Sozietät zusammen zu führen, die ihnen Halt, Freundschaft, gegenseitige Emotionalität, Geborgenheit, Nestwärme gibt, um auch außerhalb ihrer sonstigen funktionalen Aktivitäten sich als Mensch fühlen zu können.“

Joerg Seufert

CHRO, Biotronik SE

„QX ist nicht das Austauschen von Visitenkarten, sondern Netzwerken um Menschen unterschiedlicher Couleur, Ideen, Lebensansätzen und Erfahrungen zusammen zu bringen. Ich bin schon seit mehr als 20 Jahren ein Teil der QX-Familie und für mich hat das Netzwerk einen großen Beitrag dazu geleistet wer ich heute bin.“

Thorsten Gohlke

Head of Special Projects, Minstar GmbH (Single Family Office)

„QX – das ist mittlerweile Synonym für hochwertiges internationales Netzwerken zwischen Mitgliedern aller Senioritätsstufen – berufliche Ideen für morgen, Freunde fürs Leben. Was Du für das Netzwerk und QX für Dich tun können – das lässt sich immer wieder neu erfahren und entdecken.“

Carolin Schneider-Maier

Head of Human Resources, Peak One GmbH

„Ich gehe immer mit ganz viel Energie, Passion und neuen Ideen aus den QX-Veranstaltungen heraus, weil ich so viele unterschiedliche Charaktere kennen lerne. Durch QX bin ich auf den Job aufmerksam geworden, den ich jetzt mache.“

Dr. Stefan Sambol

Managing Partner, OMMAX – Digital Marketing Solutions

„Der ungefilterte Austausch! Nicht jeder hat immer eine Erfolgsstory. Man spricht auch von beruflichen und persönlichen Niederlagen. Thomas hat die besondere Eigenschaft, eine sehr vertraute Beziehung aufrecht zu erhalten. Ich finde er ist ein super Coach und Mentor. Diese Begleitung über zehn Jahre hinweg ist unbezahlbar.“

Alex Flade

„Der geschäftliche Austausch wäre für mich ohne QX nicht zustande gekommen. Dadurch habe ich erfahren in welcher Firma ich arbeiten möchte.“

Dr. Michaela Fuchs

Dr. Fuchs Cosmetics & TV Ikone

„QX ist ein körperliches Netzwerk. Der persönliche Kontakt steht im Vordergrund. Die verschiedensten Charaktere sind das Besondere. Die Veranstaltungen sind für mich immer die beste Gelegenheit alte Freunde wieder zu treffen, Netzwerkmitglieder kennen zu lernen, aber auch immer eine tolle Möglichkeit neue Ideen und Strömungen aufzugreifen.“

Raphael Abt

First Officer, Lufthansa

„Das Besondere an QX ist die familiäre Atmosphäre. Man fühlt sich nicht neu sondern als wäre man schon lange dabei.“

Trixi Gumbel

Project Development, Hasso Plattner Institute

„QX bedeutet für mich mehr als der berufliche Kontakt mit spannenden Persönlichkeiten, die nicht „stehen bleiben“ wollen. Sondern vielmehr ein Lebensgefühl. Man tauscht sich auf einem hohen Niveau über Erfolg oder Scheitern aus und kann so Ideen zusammen weiterentwickeln: „Think outside the box“ wird hier verbunden mit jeder Menge Spaß wirklich gelebt!“

Cortney Endecott

Vice President Human Resources – Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Austria & France, Swissport

„QX is the underlying idea of talent and sharing the same passions.“

Judith Williams

Unternehmerin & TV-Ikone

„Es ist ein ganz außergewöhnlicher Spirit, ganz getreu dem Motto ‚Frei raus‘! Diese ‚Helping Hands‘, die man hier hat, sind im Business nicht vorhanden.“

The QX-Crew

We make the invisible visible. Moments that connect. People who grow. Stories that make an impact.

The QX Crew shares a passion for people, for their journeys, and for embracing a zest for life. We support individuals, entrepreneurs, and role models at every stage of their development, both professionally and as whole people.

Every day with our QX members brings a new Proof of Joy: an inspiring exchange, a conversation that sets things in motion, a smile that stays with you.

Whether at our desks or hosting one of our evening gatherings across the country or anywhere in the world, we work with heart, think with clarity, and lead through meaningful connection.

This is QX. This is our crew.
