Senior strategist working at the intersection of aviation and disruptive innovation — turning frameworks into decisions, and signals into systems.
— Kolin Schunck · based in Hamburg, DE
A systems thinker who connects ideas across industries — and makes change actually happen.
My whole career has lived at the edge where aerospace meets disruptive innovation. I'm less interested in incremental polish and more in the structural shifts — the moments where a technology, a business model, or an incentive quietly rewrites how an entire industry works.
I think in frameworks that travel: borrow a mechanism from one domain, stress-test it in another, and use it to cut through noise. Data-first by instinct, contrarian when the consensus is lazy, and obsessed with measuring the things that actually matter — not just the things that are easy to count.
The long game is freedom: the independence to choose what I work on, and the platform to pass what I learn on to people who weren't handed the same head start.
Stock & Flow — an analytical newsletter for the strategy-literate.
Framework-driven essays that take a single signal — a fuel-price chart, a festival, a cruise-ship outbreak — and pull the whole system into view. Written in English for an international audience that likes its ideas with structure and its takes with an edge.
On stage about innovation, measurement, and what we get wrong about progress.
I've spoken across Munich, Silicon Valley, and Shanghai — and to communities that don't usually let a strategist near the mic.
Available for talks on AI, aviation, and decision-making under uncertainty.
