“I like to connect with peers, who have similar challenges, learn from each other and design innovative solutions. To guide our industry forward we need smart digital concepts, which can be implemented and extended in a short time. They are best when:
1.) focused on our customers
2.) defined in close collaboration
3.) designed as digital and simple as possible.
By sharing knowledge and discussing open questions I encourage everyone to contribute to this process.”
