Peter Ohnemus, Entrepreneur

Thursday, September 6.
Peter Ohnemus, the Swiss based
entrepreneur, is as jovial as he is dynamic.
The IMD graduate paid a visit to the campus and gave us a talk on the
trials and tribulations associated with entrepreneurship.
Regaling us with tales from his broad
experience in companies like Sybase, LogicWorks, COS, Asset4 and more recently
QuentiQ, he taught us about the importance of certain concepts like the art of
selling, the significance of the roles hard work and luck play in the life of
an entrepreneur, and most importantly, about how it is important to maintain
the balance between the professional and personal life.
“It’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s
about how hard you can get it and then stand again.”
This quote from the movie Rocky, was what came to my mind when he
spoke at length about the difficulties he faced at different points of his
life. The important thing is not to get bogged down by these failures, but to
move ahead with even greater determination.
We are thankful that he could take time off
his busy schedule to address us and speak to us at length and hope to have more
interactions with him in the future!!
