About us
Our vision of sustainability
Our vision is to make sustainability sensationally simple for companies and at the same time profitable for all parties involved – and thus firmly integrate it into everyday life. This will make our planet healthier, fairer and therefore better for all its inhabitants.
At the end of the day, we all have just one planet. And it is worth us standing up for it.
Here you can find out who “we” actually are, what drives us – and how you can become part of our mission for more sustainability if you want to.
Chris Kaiser
Founder and CEO
A few fun facts about me: I'm a big sports fan and love playing volleyball and floorball. I recently bought a worm bin, i.e. a home for 500 worms, which is the subject of a lot of discussion in our team meetings. At Click A Tree, I coach our team, look after our B2B partners and implement the tree planting projects on site. If you have any further questions, connect on LinkedIn (with a personal message)!
Susanne Klermund
Public Relations
With two little ones and a big man at home, I am absolutely chaos-tested. The best way for me to recharge is through peace and quiet, preferably alone in nature. To challenge my inner pessimist (you know: news, conflicts, climate change...) it helps enormously to do something meaningful that has the opposite effect and focuses on the positive. I am your contact person for all questions about Click A Tree, if there is a fire and for all press and media matters. I look forward to your message!
Sandra Winter
People & Culture
When I'm not out and about with my family and friends, you're sure to find me at the stables with Festival, my horse (yes, I'm a horse girl through and through). Apart from that, our 11 chickens and Barney, our dog, keep me on my toes. At Click A Tree, I look after our team and our partners in the People & Culture department. Do you need support? Then I am certainly the right person to contact. I look forward to continuing to grow the forests together with you!
Beate Braun
Online Marketing
If my life had background music, it would be from Air. My home is full of very old plants. They have come to stay. That's why I love working at Click A Tree - we plant trees for eternity. Content and social media management as well as eCommerce are my professional passions, which I can live out creatively as an online marketing manager. I also take care of the website and e-mail marketing. After work, you can find me in Heidelberg where hipsters and artists hang out. I am always ready for good conversations!
Dr. Paul Blazek
Co-Founding Board Member
As a passionate entrepreneur, mentor and researcher, I have increasingly experienced the importance of systematic sustainability. Together with Chris, I have already planted trees in several countries. Trees are nature's miracle weapon for stabilizing our climate systems, which have come under pressure. Planting trees is also an easy way to create jobs and opportunities in many parts of the world. Click A Tree is making our world a greener and fairer place and I am proud to have started this journey with Chris.
Jan Sambach
Relationship Manager
I can often be found on hiking trails enjoying the beauty of the woods. Nature serves as a retreat for me to escape from everyday life. Apart from that, I'm also a big fan of soccer and ice hockey. I follow the games of my favorite teams with enthusiasm and can talk shop about these sports for hours. In my role as Relationship Manager at Click A Tree, I am tasked with driving our mission for environmental conservation and am passionate about maintaining and growing our customer relationships.
Bert Frey
Head of Business Development
Heyho! I am responsible for business development at Click A Tree and am the official "Groov Meister". When I'm not developing innovative strategies, I turn my thoughts into notes and my ideas into creative guitar riffs. So, if you ever fancy a jam session, I'm ready - be it in negotiations or on stage.
Nadine Heiss
Relationship Manager
As Relationship Manager, my job is to give our customers everything they need to be successful with Click A Tree. Some successes can be planned, some just happen. My collaboration with Click A Tree happened sooner. My passion to work for success there is a plan. Privately, I do a lot of research for my studies or I "research" where various Lego pieces of my son have disappeared to. I go on adventurous bike rides in the forest with my husband and son, which brings us back to the topic of trees: Let's create forests together!
