Damian Boeselager
Damian Hieronymus Johannes Freiherr von Boeselager (German pronunciation: [ˈbøːzəˌlaːɡɐ]; born 8 March 1988) is a German business consultant, journalist and politician of Volt Europa. He is member of European Parliament in The Greens/EFA Group since his election in 2019.
Boeselager is descended from the aristocratic Boeselager family. His grandfather Philipp von Boeselager was a Wehrmacht field officer in Nazi Germany and a member of the 20 July Plot (attempt to assassinate Hitler). His father is the banker Georg von Boeselager and his mother Huberta, née Thiel. Damian Freiherr von Boeselager is Catholic and the youngest of four children, born in Frankfurt am Main.[citation needed]
Boeselager graduated from high school at the Catholic private school Aloisiuskolleg in Bad Godesberg. From 2008 to 2011, he studied Philosophy and Economics at the University of Bayreuth and Public Administration at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin from 2016 to 2017. Boeselager completed a semester abroad at Columbia University in New York City. In 2018, he graduated with a master's degree.
In 2012, Boeselager initiated a journalistic travel project, Euroskop, with Bernhard Clemm and Jan Stöckmann, which took him to 20 European capitals. The aim of the project was to discuss the future of the continent with young people in Europe and, alongside this, to interview journalists, academics, politicians and activists. The three published their travel reports on euroskop.org. Print articles appeared in The European and Die Zeit.
From 2013 to 2016, Boeselager worked for McKinsey & Company as a management consultant. During his time at the consulting firm, he says he advised government agencies and an organisation for orphans.
In 2017, Boeselager together with Andrea Venzon from Italy and Colombe Cahen-Salvador from France founded the political party Volt Europa. They described their party-project as "pan-European", "pragmatic", and "progressive". Boeselager got elected to the Vice President of Volt and was together with Marie-Isabelle Heiss the German top candidate for Volt in the 2019 European elections. During the European election campaign Boeselager did not pursue any income activity and was financially supported by his family.
Boeselager is the main "face" of the party Volt and main interview partner in media outlets due to his party activities. Ranking first in the German list of Volt Europa, which reached 0.7%, he was elected to the European Parliament in 2019.
In parliament, Boeselager has been serving as member of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs and as substitute of the Committee on Budgets. He has been the parliament's rapporteur on the budget of the European Union for 2022.
