Matthias Vickermann

Matthias Vickermann is a successful entrepreneur, trained shoemaker and innovative sales professional.

As founder and managing director of the bespoke shoe manufacturer Vickermann & Stoya in Baden-Baden, which has been established for 20 years, he has made a name for himself as a creative mastermind in luxury craftsmanship and its marketing. It is no coincidence that his manufactory was included in the “Brands of the Century” in 2024.

The bespoke shoemaker knows how to constantly rethink customer acquisition and customer loyalty and even break new ground in sales. Matthias Vickermann personally goes wherever his customers are – for example, he travels the world’s oceans on cruise ships such as the MS Europa or the SeaCloud, shines shoes there himself and advises customers on shoe craftsmanship. But that’s not all: together with his team at Maastricht University and RWTH Aachen University, he is researching and developing a new type of leather substitute in order to be able to market a sustainable shoe of the same quality in the future. His sales success is based on a clear attitude that focuses on opportunities and forms a corridor for efficiency and sustainable sales success.

As a charismatic speaker and consultant, Matthias Vickermann clearly explains why attitude can be the invisible engine for sales and how to learn to put this horsepower on the road in practice – regardless of the industry or objective.
