Philipp Ruesch

Philipp's calling is to help people grow and unfold their potential. He pursues this calling as HR Director for TWR to ensure that we have called, qualified and healthy staff in our ministry. 

Philipp joined TWR Europe in 2011 and is now leading the Europe & CAMENA (Central Asia, Middle East, North Africa) Human Resources team. Before joining TWR, Philipp studied Business Administration in Germany. In 2019 he completed his M.A. at UK’s Redcliffe College with the focus on Global Leadership in Intercultural Contexts. He is married to Christina and they have two daughters.

The earliest memories of TWR are the vivid and exciting stories of visiting TWR missionaries around the kitchen table when they were guests in the Rüsch’s home in Germany. But it took almost 20 years of knowing about TWR, and even working part-time at TWR’s German partner ERF Medien, before Philipp started considering going into missions and joining TWR.

In addition to his role as Head of Human Resources for Europe and CAMENA, Philipp is also responsible for global leadership development and heads the Member Care Media Ministry.

Philipp writes the quarterly Building Resilience Newsletter. You can read it and sign up here.
