Short introduction
Georg Kofler is an international entrepreneur and investor in the entertainment industry. He is the driving force behind several largest media companies in the country and is still considered an absolute peak manager and expert in entertainment and marketing. Kofler became better known as an investor in the VOX program “Die Höhle der Löwen” when he initially represented his business partner Judith Williams there and then took turns with him regularly.
Early life
Georg Kofler was born in 1957 to a tree logger and factory worker in South Tyrol, Italy. His father died when Kofler was four years old, so he grew as half orphaned in a simple state. As a result, Kofler began working in various fields while still in school. Among other things, it works as a dishwasher in a hotel and as a ski instructor. After graduating from high school, Kofler began studying journalism and communication science, which he completed in 1983 with his doctorate. He then worked as an assistant director at Orf and then at Leo Kirch. Line to the media industry is therefore recognized early.
Career
After the first step in the media world, a steep increase and constantly begins. Between 1988 and 2000, Kofler was the implementing director and new Pro7 Board member station, before moving to HSE and finally to the Premiere Station in 2002. It then has a big impact on the career and wealth of Kroflers. Kofler managed to change the premier into a group that was almost very strong in several years, which dominated the media world and finally went public in early 2005 with a record value of 14.5 billion euros.
Kofler can also sell most of its shares. He then sold the remaining shares in 2007, shortly before he left the company. With its share sales, Kofler was said to have received around 100 million euros and thus mostly assets. After leaving the premiere, Kofler devoted himself with his own business. For example, he established an investment company for industrial companies, an energy company and, along with Judith Williams, Media Glow, who took care of the marketing of internet stars.
