Chief Executive Officer
Mates Al-Fakhri
A cultural bridge-builder by biography: raised across Iraq, Poland, and Germany through eleven institutional changes, he speaks six languages — German, Polish, and Arabic at native level — and intuitively decodes the nuances of all three business systems. Holding a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), his 14-year career at Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle forged a rare hybrid expertise in media architecture, IT, and cross-cultural product positioning. Today, he is the trilateral engine of GIPCBS: the strategist who knows exactly how to market, communicate, and sell complex B2B products across Western, Slavic, and Middle Eastern markets — and the one voice every side of the table trusts as one of their own.
Chief Strategy & Operating Officer
Philipp Schulte-Beckhausen
Raised in the diplomatic city of Bonn, international business has been his native environment from the start. His corporate career in high-level finance and controlling at global market leaders DHL and GKN Automotive made him a specialist in international cost management and project controlling — the discipline that keeps cross-border ventures profitable. As CSO/COO of GIPCBS and Treasurer of the German-Iraqi Forum for Cooperation (DIFZ e.V.), he ensures every corridor we open stands on rigorous financial architecture.
