Wahid Samimy,
is a lawyer and certified PR consultant (dapr). As head of communications for a state ministry, press spokesperson for a federal ministry and a federal authority, campaigner for a renewable energy company, and lecturer and tutor for crisis communication, one thing quickly became clear to him. There is never a single best way in the field of communication. Complex communicative contexts are not linear. Every crisis is different, and yet you can make right and wrong decisions that do not just depend on lucky or unlucky circumstances. Between structural constraints, a lack of motivation to act rationally, the rapid diffusion and shifting of action goals, and affective-emotional states, it is usually necessary to react quickly. It requires an adapted strategy, always comprehensible and consistent actions, the necessary tools combined with the right networks. This mixture has become a passion for him. You can see that at every opportunity.
He is a top level consultant at 42.0 GmbH.
