Johannes Ebermann
A fulfilling childhood with broad interests alongside an education marked by disruptions in East Germany. Founded 2 school newspapers and 2 associations — youth spokesperson and team leader.
Learning: Identity grows from interest, not from formal grades.University as self-directed exploration after rigid school years. A broad range of subjects across several universities (Chemnitz, Eichstätt, Hamburg, Kristianstad). Master's degree with distinction on a full scholarship, extended into doctoral funding.
Learning: Find a professional field that matches your curiosity — refine your curiosity with formal degrees.Recognised electronics repair for the automotive aftermarket + the coworking trend as opportunities. Founded ECU España + MYSALA SL in Spain. Left the doctorate for the double challenge of becoming a father of twins + entrepreneurship.
Learning: Curiosity spots opportunities — use your hyperfocus to start, and build teams that complement you.10 years with the Karl Kübel Foundation — an impact-driven start-up at the intersection of youth welfare, education, health and poverty prevention. Pioneering outcome orientation and building a digital tool for NGOs and public administration.
Learning: Shared impact goals create powerful synergies. Breakthrough innovation is possible even in complex systems.Continuously developing ECU España since 2010. Trained as a change agent — coach at Remotly.io, EXPERTS & TALENTS (Area9 Lyceum) and for the Glaubitz Group. Specialist in remote team transformation.
Learning: Lasting success comes from staying the course and accompanying people through change.Focus on strengths: coaching + connecting people (delegate of the German Business Forum Andalusia). Founded Solaryield in agri-PV. Working on my own core: systematically distilling experience.
Learning: Your strengths make the difference — know them and use them as leverage.I intuitively sense which people and organisations could benefit from each other, and I create the connections that move everyone forward.
From school newspapers (station 1) via MYSALA coworking to DWA Córdoba (station 6) — bringing people together is my passion.People often have more potential than they see in themselves. My job is to make that potential visible and create paths for it to unfold.
10 years of NGO consulting (station 4) led to strong remote teams (station 5) — empathetic coaching for real change.Innovation happens where different worlds meet. I recognise these intersections and develop solutions that seemed unthinkable before.
From ECU repair innovation (station 3) via impact pioneering (station 4) to the agri-PV breakthrough (station 6).Every culture has its strengths. Successful international projects emerge when you combine those strengths instead of levelling them out.
Studying in 3 countries (station 2) led to 16 years of German-Spanish bridge-building — from ECU España to DWA Córdoba.Change only works when people carry it with you. My job: shape change so it is experienced as an opportunity.
Remote transformation (station 5) + focus on strengths (station 6) — people need trust and self-efficacy.My broad range of interests lets me discover room to create where others only see obstacles.
From early associations (station 1) via the ECU España opportunity (station 3) to agri-PV innovation (station 6).Success stories
Challenge
Automotive is considered anything but sustainable — millions of electronic components are scrapped instead of repaired, while workshops lacked specialised repair solutions for complex vehicle electronics.
Approach
With electronic control unit españa we rethought the entire lifecycle: systematic repair instead of replacing with new parts. German precision combined with the needs of the Spanish market. Built a local expert team supporting car workshops nationwide.
Result
Learning
Sustainability and profitability reinforce each other. Cultural understanding is decisive when going international.
Challenge
Teams wanted to develop without putting daily business at risk. The goal: better communication, more appreciation, a clear shared “why” and more efficient ways of working in remote settings.
Approach
Applied THE DIVE's Loop Approach to remote teams. Changed meeting culture through targeted interventions. 7 core elements: individual (potential + effectiveness + accountability), team (alignment + effectiveness + feedback), structure (adaptation).
Result
Learning
People want to feel effective. Teams grow when they see shared goals and can unlock their potential.
Challenge
Andalusian farmers faced a dilemma: climate change threatens harvests while land is needed for solar energy. Traditionally that meant farming OR energy — rarely both.
Approach
With SOLAR YIELD we developed state-of-the-art planning systems: satellite-based yield simulation + adaptive PV systems (semi-transparent, vertical, movable). The goal: optimal light saturation, protection from extreme weather and water management — while generating power.
Result
Learning
Innovation emerges where different fields collide. Looking across disciplines makes the seemingly impossible achievable.
Challenge
The structures of an NGO's beneficiaries didn't match its funding structures. Unclear target-group mapping, scattered information and chaotic communication channels frustrated stakeholders and staff.
Approach
Systematic CRM introduction with a human touch: first understand target groups and workflows, then choose the right technology. Bring staff along instead of steamrolling them — step-by-step rollout with continuous adjustment.
Result
Learning
Digitalisation is 80% change facilitation, 20% technology. Solutions developed together become “our baby”.
My attitude and methods for your success
My strength is the project start: spotting opportunities, igniting hyperfocus and taking the first decisive steps. Then I build teams that complement me and carry the project to lasting success.
Method
People often have more potential than they see in themselves. My “radar” detects dormant abilities and creates conditions in which this potential becomes visible and can unfold.
Method
I see possibilities for connection where others see competition or problems. Systematic networking creates win-win situations that leave everyone stronger than before.
Method
Today these three pillars crystallise in my PATHWEAVER approach — a way of accompanying people as they find their authentic paths.
Now
PATHWEAVER — where twenty years flow into one authentic approach
It is remarkable how patterns reveal themselves over the years. Different countries, different projects, all kinds of people — and yet similar questions keep emerging: How does my path show itself? How do I use my strengths as leverage for change?
PATHWEAVER grew out of observing these patterns. Not a finished system, but an exploratory approach — for everyone who senses there is more in them than they have been able to live so far.
Let's explore what becomes possible when we lift our potential with curiosity and energy.
As a delegate of the German Business Forum Andalusia, I build bridges between German and Andalusian companies in the province of Córdoba — bilateral business relations that show every day how cultural understanding grows into concrete collaboration.
