“I was actually accepted into medical school in Italy. But then I wanted to come …” — Jochen Zeitz

I wanted Puma to regain strength with the existing logo rather than try to get rid of the past.

We decided that sports, lifestyle and fashion were three elements that could be mixed together to a very unique formula. That's what we did: make Puma a very sports-fashion brand when, at the times, everybody talked about sports and sports performance and functionality. We said, 'Well, it's about more.'

Everything is interconnected. The moment you take philosophy, psychology, religion and business and look at the underlying commonalities, that's when you start looking at business in a different way.

I always wanted to be a medical doctor, and I never thought of business.
