Erich Lejeune was born in Dorfen, Bavaria, on 15 June 1944 and grew up in the Marienplatz and Schwabing districts of Munich. He is not only an expert in motivation and philosophy, but a globally successful visionary, entrepreneur, networker, best-selling author and consultant. Following the international success of ce (1976 – 2001) and stock market flotation in the worldwide trade of microchips, Erich Lejeune founded the Lejeune Academy in 2002 at the suggestion of Prof. h.c.

As benefactor and president of “Heart for Heart – Foundation for Life”, Erich Lejeune and his wife, Irène Lejeune, have supported the installation of three cardiac catheterisation laboratories in Vietnam: two at the University of Da Nang and one at the University in Ho Chi Minh City. Since the foundation came into being, it has saved the lives of more than 4,000 children suffering from genetic heart defects, among others, due to the use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.
