Eliana Berger,
Lead Editor
Eliana spends most of her time in life writing. When it’s not interviews for fortytwomagazine, it’s articles about trade, the labour market or real estate for Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, where she works in the business editorial office. Previously: Work for the WDR, ZDF, Focus and a variety of media based in Cologne. Eliana graduated with a degree in Politics, Sociology, and Psychology from the University of Bonn. Since then, she believes to have understood the complex relationship of politics, media and answers that are way too simple to be true. She is especially critical of the latter. Eliana has Cypriot roots; she grew up somewhere along the Western border of Cologne where she currently lives.

Kurt Bille,
Lead Editor
Kurt was born and raised in the metropolitan region of North Hesse. While his bachelor’s degree in economics took him to the south of Germany, he spent his Master’s high up north at the Copenhagen Business School. Kurt has a passion for processes of social transformation and strives for figuring out where our ideas and visions about the future stem from. The time he spent in Istanbul and Tel-Aviv made him understand how important it is to change perspectives and see contrasts in order to perceive the world more clearly. This is why Kurt worked with long-established companies and start-ups, climbed up mountains, jumped out of planes, and dared to drink beer after wine.
