Early life
Conze was born in the German city of Bielefeld and lived across Germany. He spent two years as a lieutenant in the parachute regiment of the German army before getting his MBA from the Turner College of Business at Columbus State University.After graduation, Conze joined Procter & Gamble.
Procter & Gamble
Conze worked for Procter & Gamble, for 17 years (1993-2010), eventually becoming Marketing Director of Global Skincare from 2000 to 2001. At P&G, he also held the role of Senior Marketing Director of Beauty in Greater China from 2004 to 2007. Following stints in the UK, Switzerland, US and China, he left P&G as Managing Director of DACH in 2010. For Conze this experience taught him the importance of innovation and geographic breadth.
Dyson
Conze joined Dyson as President, North America in 2010 and in September 2011 Conze succeeded Martin McCourt as Chief Executive Officer of Dyson. He had been inspired by James Dyson’s story and the two operate hand in hand harmoniously.
Dyson has seen its sales revenue doubled and investment in new technology increased to 3 times during Max’s term. Currently at Dyson, Conze runs a group with more than 4,400 employees around the world including the UK head office; a Malaysian factory where the bulk of production is carried out, a second technology campus named Hullavington in Malmesbury and a new motor facility in Singapore. Under Conze’s leadership, Dyson has continued to experience strong growth and enter into new categories.
2016 saw the launch of the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, the Dyson V8 cord-free vacuum and the introduction of the Dyson Demo shop. Dyson CEO Max Conze said, “2016 was one of our best years yet, driven by new technology and international growth. Our future is best understood by looking at the new Dyson demo stores. They get people hands-on with Dyson machines to understand the intelligent technology inside.”
Dyson is expanding and Conze is at the forefront of directing the company down this path. In February 2017 Dyson announced the new Hullavington campus as a part of plans to increase the company’s workforce of engineers and scientists to around 7000 in the next five years.
In March 2017, Dyson revealed that its profits for 2016 topped £630 million after company recorded a 244 percent growth in China markets. Dyson recently announced a £1.5bn investment into research and development of future technologies. The plan is routed in an ongoing expansion of Dyson engineering, working with universities to develop a technology pipeline that stretches 25 years into the future. Conze is passionate about the potential of young people and the benefits of recruiting talent fresh out of university, believing that they are more willing to take risks and think unconventionally.
