President of German Direct Marketing Association
"For now the third time, Simone Lis curated an unforgettable DDV Innovation Journey to Los Angeles and CES. After having explored Silicon Valley with her in previous years, she showed us the latest startup ecosystem in Silicon Beach: it was a great combination of exciting company visits such as YouTube, BadVR and Snapchat, newest retail and restaurant concepts and VR experiences. Every tour has been carefully designed and customized to the group’s interest. This makes her tours so unique and her engagement so passionate - that’s also why we continue to offer these West Coast "DialogTours” to our members.”
Marcus Wailersbacher,
CEO, DEFACTO
"...we were delighted to work with Simone Lis
to support us with curating and organizing a
Fashion Innovation Journe that DEFACTO and
Salesforce were hosting together. (...)
So when our C-level tour kicked off, it was thanks to Simone that many doors opened up, from business clubs to startups and one of the leading universities. (...) The journey was a
great success, all participants rated this trip a
valuable top-tier experience.”
Ulrich Schaefer,

"Whilst researching our new German book
"Germany digital: Our answer to
Silicon Valley" in San Francisco we met
Simone Lis, a corporate innovation
expert. Simone not only combines being a
German native with a California resident
who understands cultural values, but she
was able to explain in an inspiring way
the secrets of Silicon Valley.”
