No One Wins
Alone
Unlock the power of Structured Networking
For more than a decade, I’ve helped people and organizations transform the way they connect, collaborate, and succeed — using a proven model that turns networks into powerful ecosystems of trust and opportunity.
In my upcoming book "No One Wins Alone", I share the proven methods I’ve taught global leaders to transform connections into real opportunities. I also bring these lessons to conferences, workshops, and executive sessions.
Structured Networking is far more than exchanging business cards or clicking “connect” online. It is a purposeful, trust-based way to solve problems, create opportunities, and achieve more together than we ever could alone.
Through years of experience working with more than 10.000 individuals across the world, I have developed, tested, refined and retested my model that I call Structured Networking. I have worked with global CEOs, business and political leaders as well as with social entrepreneurs and young professionals.
My model has been tested in boardrooms, conference halls, with grassroots projects and in one-on-ones… and it works in any context where individuals realize that they have a problem that they cannot fix alone.

About Carsten Sudhoff
I’ve been building and strengthening networks my entire life — across cultures, continents, and industries. As the former Chief Human Resources Officer at the World Economic Forum, I saw first-hand how meaningful human connection can solve complex problems and spark breakthroughs.
Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of individuals and organizations to help them connect with clarity, empathy, purpose and create personal and professional value. My mission is simple: to make networking a powerful force for good — in business, in communities, and in society.
Speaking & Workshops
For over 10 years, I’ve worked with individuals and organizations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas — delivering high-impact retreats, practical workshops, and keynotes on some of the world’s biggest stages.

What People Are Saying
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with leaders, teams, and organizations across the globe. Here’s what some of them have shared about their experience with Structured Networking — and the impact it’s had on their work and relationships.
Ramon Hendriks,
Managing Director
When I set out to change my job, industry, and region - moving from Europe to Asia - it felt like a daunting challenge. Thanks to Carsten's guidance, I defined my personal brand and, more importantly, learned how to network in a structured and strategic way. One year later, I have successfully relocated to Vietnam and now lead a production facility as MD. Carsten's insights and approach were invaluable in making this transition not just possible, but truly successful.
Nathaniel Eaton
Senior Vice President
Carsten challenged me and my team to move beyond linear implementation and harness the power of structured networking as a strategic tool for transformation. He guided us in systematically mapping and activating our ecosystem, ensuring that we engaged the right stakeholders at the right time. Through this approach, we not only secured stronger support but also created a network-driven momentum that amplified the commercial impact of our initiatives.
J. Hirzel,
Chief of Staff
Although I was constantly in "unstructured" contact with my network, I first applied unsuccessfully more than 40 times for various jobs before I learned to network in a structured way. I specifically activated two contacts. This resulted in two applications, two interviews and one job!
Dr. Corinne Wild
Managing Director
Carsten’s keynote on Structured Networking was lively, engaging, and refreshingly practical. He filled the room with energy and insight, all while delivering his message with that signature laconic humor that kept us smiling and thinking. With participants from over 50 organizations fully involved, the feedback was outstanding. Even more impressive were the valuable networking opportunities that emerged after the event—connections that continue to spark collaboration and new ideas.
Marlies Meyer MD.
Country Medical Director
Carsten delivered an inspiring talk on structured networking at our annual company meeting, engaging around 80 colleagues across the organization. His dynamic style encouraged interaction, and the session was very well received—people enjoyed it and left energized.
