Holger Schmidbaur

I lead the strategic development and operational execution of Siemens Energy’s Customs Strategy across Europe, including Switzerland and Kazakhstan. My role ensures compliance, efficiency, and alignment with international trade regulations, driving seamless cross-border operations and supporting business growth through robust customs management.

As an author and high-impact lecturer in customs and export control, I leverage my background as a trained customs officer to deliver legally sound, practice-oriented expertise. I contribute to leading legal journals and collaborate with Chambers of Commerce (IHKs) and top seminar providers. My work bridges rigorous legal education with real-world experience, offering insights shaped by deep, hands-on knowledge of the field.

In today’s complex global market, export control and customs can be burdens—or strategic advantages. As an independent consultant, I ensure the latter. I help select clients turn regulatory complexity into clarity, efficiency, and profitability. Through deep strategic analysis, I streamline frameworks to exceed compliance thresholds with minimal effort. The result: agile, future-proof systems that reduce risk and enable confident global execution.
