Recommendations
Genuine technical expertise, a manager of talent, and someone I want to have a beer with came to my mind when thinking about Christian. I had the pleasure of working with Christian for more than ten years at Media Ventures, REWE/Toom and METRO Markets, collaborating on several project teams. I was always in awe of Christian's ability to command a room and get people on board with moderating ideas – even people who were initially on completely different pages. No matter how tense a meeting was, Christian made sure everyone left with a smile, though he could be adamant if required. Christian's core values are team spirit, fair play, agile - a balance of fun and effectiveness. Aside from his outstanding enterprise IT expertise, Christian is an asset to any company.
