Jürgen Siebel

Siemens AG

Jürgen Siebel is head of international business within Siemens Professional Education, which he joined in August 2013. Based in Munich, Mr. Siebel initiates and drives the company’s professional education projects outside Germany. He represents Siemens on international and cross-industry bodies promoting (dual) work-based models as key components of any education reform agenda.

Mr. Siebel is convinced that all lines of education—including the academic—can be made more effective by adding work-based curriculum elements to help make students more employable, thus combatting youth unemployment and maintaining competitiveness. He also believes that entrepreneurship education deserves more weight in secondary-school curricula. Mr. Siebel previously served in various leading operational and strategic roles within Siemens’ business, corporate, and regional human resources organizations. He joined Siemens in 1999.
