About

Willy Kuhne

¶ Willy is an Operational and Sales Leader with over 15 years of experience. At Google, he leads vendor operations across EMEA, overseeing $500M in annual revenue while helping teams scale through structure, rhythm, and repeatable standards.

On paper, he’s a systems thinker—disciplined, reliable, focused on long-term consistency over short-term hype. But behind that structure is someone constantly balancing precision with the unpredictability of real life. His book, ✺ Standard of Consistency, reflects that tension: part playbook, part personal philosophy, it’s an effort to find calm inside the chaos—at work and beyond.

He doesn’t buy into hustle culture. Instead, he advocates for the quiet momentum of intentional progress—measured, sustainable, and real. That mindset threads through both his work in tech and his creative projects, like ⤷ nortehaus, a boutique cabin he co-founded in Canada, where he experiments with the idea that excellent hospitality can invite people to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with simplicity.

A foot in two worlds, Willy continues to shape high-performing systems while exploring the subtler art of making space—for others, and for stillness.
