Silvio Wilde studied Human Resource Management and International Project Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Neuss (Fachhochschule für Oekonomie und Management) and currently works as a marketing and sales expert. Thanks to his previous employments at Siemens, AT&S, BASF and Bayer, he can look back on a broad range of experience in different corporate cultures. This also enabled him to gain insights into the close relationship between Knowledge Management and Customer Relationship Management - the research topic of his book. His interests focus on "human capital", companies' most valuable asset.
