CEO Hamburg Tourismus GmbH
Speaker Day 1
Since May 2016, Michael Otremba has served as the CEO of Hamburg Tourismus and the Managing Director of Hamburg Marketing GmbH.
Actively shaping change, transformation, and ongoing development has defined both his personal and professional journey. His guiding principle comes from Nelson Mandela:
"I never lose. I either win or I learn."
As a board member of the European network City Destination Alliance (#CityDNA) and the German Tourism Association (DTV), he contributes his perspectives on tourism development. Before entering city marketing, Michael Otremba worked as Vice President at Munich Airport, where he was responsible for advertising, media, and marketing, as well as coordinating the airport’s brand-driven transformation process. Previously, he held senior positions in sports marketing – including at the sports rights agency Sportfive in Hamburg and with the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
