Her fresh attitude leaves no doubt that she really enjoys her job.
While eating the delicious dishes, Tom quickly begins to skim the newspaper
articles, the annual reports and small video clips Olina has collected for him in a
file stored on his computer. It is about Kräsen's vice president, Klaus Bonnert. He
is the man who shaping the company for the outside world, and he has been
doing so for the past twenty years.
In the first picture, Klaus Bonnert looks like an ordinary young German
businessman who has just started a new job. The picture is from Kräsen's annual
report to shareholders in 1992. He is standing with a number of other neatly
dressed individuals, people from the board and people from Kräsen's

a little shorter. His dark complexion makes him look vibrant and healthy. His suit
is grey and is neatly fitting.
Tom browses further through the pictures. There are not many images of
Gustav Kräsen. According to German media, he avoids the public spotlight as he
has deliberately chosen a management profile that is the opposite of his
predecessors.
On the other hand, there are plenty of pictures and interviews with Klaus
Bonnert, his young wife and their two children, a boy and a girl, both in the
serious financial magazines and in the coloured press, which apparently follow
him and his family intensely, almost like the royals are followed in countries with
still existing monarchy.
In particular, there is an interview about Kräsen in DER BILD that catches his
