Jimmie Langham founded the consultancy cruh21 in mid-2021.
The former table tennis league coach studied architecture and urban planning in Karlsruhe, Hamburg and London. After his studies, he worked for several years as a freelance project manager for various planning offices.
For the last 15 years he has been working as a consultant in the energy industry. In 2012, he moved into offshore wind project development, where he co-founded the AquaVentus 2020 initiative as part of his consultancy work for RWE Renewables.
