Lars Hinrichs - Internet Pioneer from Germany

August 26, 2014

Lars Hinrichs could retire today if he wanted to. After setting up Xing, he sold his stake in the professional networking website to the Burda media company for €48 million. Hinrichs is a natural-born entrepreneur, however, and has plenty of plans for the future.
