🧑💼 About the Founder – Marcel Plum
With a background in finance, real estate, and international consulting, Marcel Plum founded German Sherpa to close the support gap for expats in Germany. After working in global teams and experiencing Singapore’s expat culture, he realized how much was missing in Germany — and decided to change that.
Today, he leads a growing team of advisors and digital tools, offering holistic, transparent, and actionable financial guidance.
