Portrait of Uwe Sommersguter

ahead x · Moderator (Klagenfurt)

Uwe Sommersguter

Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Business · Kleine Zeitung

Analysing and contextualising the economy, constructive, forward-looking, with real value for readers.

„Analyse, understand, explain, contextualise and constructively look for solutions instead of striking out.“ That sentence is Uwe Sommersguter's driving force. Born in Klagenfurt (1970), he studied business administration at the University of Klagenfurt, was editor-in-chief of weeklies and magazines, and has been with Kleine Zeitung since 2012, today as head of the business desk and deputy editor-in-chief for Carinthia/East Tyrol. At ahead x he hosts the Klagenfurt edition and, on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI), calmly separates the hype from what really moves companies forward.
