Oliver is a trained freight forwarder and initially stayed loyal to his employer, Aerotrans. As a staff member in the charter department, he was quickly promoted to Director of Sales, where he was responsible for the sales and marketing of 17 cargo airlines. These experiences paved the way for him to join his father's company, STR Destination Handling, in 1994. Just two years later, he was appointed Managing Director, focusing on the leisure segment. Clients appreciate his expertise and honesty, which are indispensable in the tourism industry. In January 2016, he co-founded STR proMICE with Carol Kahmann.

As a balance to work, he enjoys walking with his dog in the forests of his new home near Hannover and loves trying out newly acquired wines with friends and family.
