Holm Dressler (born December 13, 1949 in Hanover) has been one of the best-known television, film and event makers in Germany for almost 50 years. 

He started in 1972 as a cable carrier for NDR television in Hanover and was soon employed as an assistant director for large TV productions. 

With Frank Elstner he startet europe's most successful television show "Wetten dass?", which he later continued with Thomas Gottschalk. 

For Gottschalk he also designed the "Telespiele", "Na Sowas", and the first Late Night Show on German television. For Günther Jauch he was successful with "Na Siehste" and invented for him with "Millionär gesucht" - The SKL-Show " the first million-dollar show in German-speaking countries. 

Big TV shows with Blacky Fuchsberger (" Let's go"), Rudi Carrell ("Rudi's Holiday Show"), Dieter Hallervorden ("Hidden Camera") and Mikhail Gorbachev ("Women's World Awards") completed his work behind the cameras. 

As a director, Dressler directed well-known cinema movies (including "Three Little Jerks, Part 2" with Thomas Gottschalk, Deborah Shelton and Michael Winslow) and as a producer, he was responsible for many spectacular TV movies (including "The Hostages of Costa Rica" with Nina Hoss and "Prisoners in Yemen" with Peter Maffay). 

In addition, Dressler writes and stages large corporate events in Germany and abroad, such as for Porsche, AUDI and for the FTI Group. 

He is currently producing a daily talk show with Raphaela Ackermann, the sister of Thomas Gottschalk, for the TV channel "Welt der Wunder TV". 

As a guest lecturer, Dressler teaches "Producer", "TV Practice" and "Event Management" at various media academies and universities, and as a coach he gives assistance in rhetoric and motivation in media seminars.
