Rainer Kenter
Entrepreneur, manager, pace-setter for innovation. Graduate industrial engineer (Dipl.-Wirt.-Ing.) and mental coach.
True innovation happens where courage meets clarity.
Early in my career, as an employed international corporate manager, I proved that turnover and EBIT can be doubled in less than two years. As an entrepreneur, I then went on to grow my father's company tenfold and to build other companies I founded from scratch into market leaders.
But the road ahead is rarely a straight line. I owe formative lessons not only to the many successes but also to moments of failure. From this combination of success, a lived culture of learning from mistakes and experience, I draw what I pass on to my clients as most valuable: deep understanding and tailored, realistic strategies that hold up even in stormy times.
For me, leadership still does not mean blind trust without guard rails. KPIs and controls are important, absolutely essential, and provide the necessary corrective framework. But they are not the core of how I like to lead. What really drives me is inspiration: when a product or a vision excites me, it sparks an energy in me that forms teams who are passionate about the cause. And when the after-sales service then delivers what it promises, customers become real fans. That is the basis for lasting success. And I can now pass on this experience independently.
Beyond that, I stand for genuine values and absolute authenticity. For a convincing product I will move heaven and earth; for lazy compromises and “me too” I am not available.
As a strategist, I combine this attitude with a strong network, bring the right people together and turn clear visions into measurable, lasting success.
My mission
Over the past years, my mission in the cleaning industry has been to give my clients the tools to clean buildings significantly more sustainably and efficiently. Together with many innovative clients, and through the targeted use of robotics, highly effective machine and manual methods and advanced, chemical-free cleaning solutions, my team and I have made numerous large and small buildings substantially more efficient and resource-friendly to clean.
I now pass on the know-how I have built up over the years. Depending on what we agree, you receive a tailor-made concept, a proof of concept, a structured change management process with your team, active support during implementation on site and a well-founded case study that makes success objectively measurable.
