Dirk Burghaus Appointed to the Senate of Economy

Dirk Burghaus’s appointment to the Senate of Economy is not just a recognition of his entrepreneurial success — it reflects a lifelong commitment to aligning business leadership with social responsibility. As Chairman of the Sportklinik Hellersen, CEO of multiple companies, and a thought leader in healthcare strategy and corporate governance, Burghaus embodies a leadership style that transcends conventional business boundaries.

During the Spring Convention at the Federal Press Conference House in Berlin – in the presence of dignitaries including former German President Joachim Gauck — he received his official appointment. As a member of the Senate, he brings decades of operational and strategic experience into policy, economics, and society, helping bridge the gap between practice and politics. 

This honor affirms what distinguishes his work: strategic depth, a will to transform, values-based leadership, and the conviction that entrepreneurship must include a broader societal mission.

„We don’t need more theory – we need more execution. Solid entrepreneurial perspectives belong at the center of political decision-making.“
