Castulus Kolo first studied physics in Munich and completed his studies with a PhD at CERN, where he came across the WWW as one of the early users in 1989. Later he gained an additional PhD in social anthropology driven by an interest in how other cultures appropriate innovations. He has gathered extensive leadership experience in strategy consulting as well as applied research among other with the German Fraunhofer Society and in 2001 he became member of the board of directors of the corporate venture management of a large German publishing house. Throughout his management career, Castulus Kolo continued his academic activities as a lecturer on innovation management, media and ICT at several universities, and joined Macromedia in 2007, where he became president in February 2020. His research is focused on the preconditions, the diffusion as well as the effects of media innovations at the intersection of economy, society, and technology. Since 2019 he is president of the International Media Management Academic Association.
