René Seifert (38) is the founder and Managing Director of Level 360 Services in Bangalore, a consultancy for software outsourcing and media/tech-investment to India. The company, which was founded in 2003, is both an example and a catalyst for promoting the global concept of Thomas Friedman’s “flat world”. René, half German and half Croatian, began his career hosting radio shows and running a small advertisement agency parallel to his studies. He was head of marketing and presenter at the radio station Bayern 3. One of his most challenging experiences had been reporting as a wartime-correspondent for the radio network ARD from the Kosovo-conflict in former Yugoslavia. During the “new economy” he headed the entertainment department at the internet portal Lycos Europe, after which he took one year off for a sabbatical to travel the world. René is a member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (chapter Bangalore) and a regular blogger under www.reneseifert.com. He holds a Master’s Degree in Economics and Management from the University of Augsburg. In his free time he enjoys flying with his pilot license, reading, and - of course - traveling.
