Life
Olaf Amblank received his state examination in human medicine in 1995 at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen.

After working for the management consultancies Kienbaum Consultants International and McKinsey & Company , he is now an entrepreneur and real estate investor in Hamburg.
Services
During his time as a management consultant at McKinsey, he and his colleagues Anne Sliwka and Stephan Gutzeit developed the idea of founding a humanistic university based on the Anglo-American model: the European College of Liberal Arts . The first Summer University took place on the campus in Berlin-Buch in July 2000, with lecturers and sponsors such as Norbert Walter and Gertrud Höhler . Already in the first year it received widespread international attention, including in Poland. From this private initiative, which the three founders had a decisive influence on until 2003, a state-recognized university in Berlin grew in 2011.
