Our team

Manuel Gruber, Managing Director Generationendialog GmbH

Manuel came to us in spring 2020 and played a significant role in implementing Vollpension’s BakAdemy. Today, he is Managing Director of the newly founded Vollpension Generationendialog GmbH. This includes the operation of BakAdemy, the Vollpension studios, partner cooperations and, of course, media projects such as books or TV format development. This is actually his background: content production. Manuel studied TV production and journalism, and until 2020, he had his own production company which was responsible for the implementation of more than 15 hours of BakAdemy content, and for our first TV format.

Moriz Piffl-Percevic, shareholder and idea provider

Moriz is the artistically creative design mind of Vollpension. Word mark, language, design and branding originated in his brain; he loves to get creative groups together and lead them in order to create consistent brand space.
Mo always thinks outside of the box (genius and lunacy are always close together!), has about 200 ideas per minute, and has a never-ending drive to move forward, believe in us and expand our vision. Mo is a passionate creative and social entrepreneur, and has founded numerous companies in different industries and countries over the past 20 years. In addition to the creative world in our granny team, he has also been responsible for the commercial management since the first lockdown.

Vollpension is Moriz’s absolute favourite project, which most likely is due to his grandmother, “Mother Mayr” from Mauterndorf, Salzburg, who has definitely been a great inspiration for him with her family-owned Hotel Post in Mauterndorf, and who held three guest lectures at the BakAdemy (1,2,3).

Moriz created Vollpension together with his then partner Mike Lanner as a pop-up during the Vienna Design Week 2012, and then he brought Julia, David, and in 2014, Hannah on board.

Julia Krenmayr, Managing director Generationencafés, co-founder

Julia has been with Vollpension from the beginning.
She co-founded the pop-up project in 2012, and is an absolute hands-on doer. As managing director, she is responsible for the gastronomy segment in our company and so for our Generationencafés, as a generation manager, she is responsible for all HR issues in our Vollpension universe.
Julia is an expert on generation-bridging togetherness and old-age employment. In a social business company, special processes and structures are absolutely necessary in order to make economics, gastronomy and social impact all work properly together. Julia’s great passion is to learn more about these processes and structures by doing things together and employing a lot of sensitivity and a feeling for social dynamics.

She is a trained art therapist and studied organisational development, using all that knowledge to bring a lot of creativity, art and systematic aspects to our daily work life. Julia is the one person in our team who implements large and small projects step by step, and who always stays calm, no matter how high emotions climb. She sees situations from a matter-of-fact point of view, always giving emotions enough room, but putting them in the right perspective.

Hannah Lux, shareholder, co-founder

Hannah came on board in 2014 as co-founder and co-entrepreneur. Her goal for Vollpension is to create meeting places for different kinds of people on the same eye and heart levels, and bring them in contact with each other. Hanna always finds new solutions by building bridges between different people, but also between the social and financial goals of our company, and the basis for all this is establishing and living a new form of working together as the centre of our company’s activities. In several projects, she’s already had the chance to live out her passion for bringing different perspectives together and bringing down-to-earth, socially relevant ideas. All this has made her an expert in social entrepreneurship, social innovation and political entrepreneurship over the past 10 years.
Hannah drives our vision forward by investing a lot of heart and soul, always asking why, and being responsible for Vollpension’s purpose, partnerships and financing, and communicates our activities internally and externally with lots of passion.
