Axel Springer’s PREMIUM-GRUPPE (WELT, BUSINESS INSIDER Deutschland, and POLITICO Deutschland) is forming a team of experts—comprising entrepreneurs and strategists—under the banner “Stimme der Wirtschaft,” which will bring fresh, real-world insights to the economic policy discourse on TV and in the group’s newspapers.

Janna Ensthaler: The multi-founder and investor (Green Generation Fund) operates at the intersection of technology, venture capital, and sustainable transformation. She is the voice of the innovation-driven startup scene and an investor on the startup show “Die Höhle der Löwen.”

Daniel Stelter: The macroeconomist, strategy consultant, and bestselling author deconstructs economic policy narratives and analyzes Germany’s competitiveness. Along with Ulf Poschardt, Stelter hosts the popular economics podcast “Make Economy Great Again.”

Christian Miele: The venture capital investor and former president of the German Startups Association is familiar with the structural hurdles in Germany and the policy framework for innovation and growth. Miele is a member of the CDU and has an extensive network in politics.

Moritz Seyffarth, Editor-in-Chief of BUSINESS INSIDER Deutschland and Head of Business at the PREMIUM-GRUPPE: “Janna Ensthaler, Daniel Stelter, and Christian Miele are successful leaders in their respective markets and companies. We bring their direct, hard-hitting insights and critical perspectives to our audiences so they can make meaning of economic complexity. The ‘Voice of the Economy’ makes our brands even more impactful and provides deeper analysis.”

The new columnists’ pieces will now run regularly across all platforms and brands: online, on social media channels, on WELT TV, and in the daily newspaper WELT. Christian Miele will kick things off on Friday, August 7, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. on WELT TV, followed by Janna Enstahler on August 18 at 12:00 p.m.
