Virginie Briand

Managing Partner
19:13 GmbH

I am a business leader with strong experience and a demonstrated history in delivering positive change for companies over the last 20 years. I am the Founder and Managing Partner of 19:13 - an independent communications & change consultancy based in Munich, Germany.

After completing a Master's degree with studies in Germany, France and the US , I started my career at BMW Group in the brand and product Strategy. I spent a year in BMW’s tech office in the Silicon Valley before becoming BMW's Head of International Advertising.

In 2007, I started my own business naming it 19:13 - after the time when the team around Apollo 13 came up with an inventive solution to bring the astronauts home. Since then, we have brought a vast array of our client 'home' - helping them win the hearts of their people, and achieve success through brilliantly relevant solutions.

I love to connect with people and solve complex business andcommunication problems with strategically-sound solutions.I am passionate about creating a conversation that matters and genuinely moving organisations and their people forward. I love the power of communication can unfold and the value it brings in paving this journey.
