Christian has a rare ability to make complex things look deadly simple. His business acumen and digital DNA intuitively spot where and how to streamline and improve a business process. His helicopter view and ability to blend into the team allow him to seamlessly help the decisions at board level and cascade the implementation to the shop floor. Working together on a new view of digitalizing IP, Christian provided a vision of monitoring proprietary vs. competitive innovation which completely blew my mind

Christian is an amazing person to work with. In my capacity as web development manager I delivered services to his division and worked with him on streamlining offshore IT development for many years. Christian is a strategic thinker and an insightful person with an eye for opportunities to innovate (for example, he quickly saw that we could realize significant synergies by pooling our resources together), has an open mind and strong intercultural skills (which I witnessed whilst in India; with the right approach he won the hearts and minds of our outsourcing business partner). He's skilled at building bridges between people and organizations and always shaped an atmosphere of positivity and mutuality. Throughout the many projects we worked on for him he consistently set clear priorities and made certain everyone's focus was on what mattered most; quality and efficiency whilst always delivering on promises. In a nutshell; he's an absolutely outstanding advocate for his client's interests which, in this case, were in the highest levels of Mars' organization. I am very thankful for the opportunity to have worked with him; I learned a lot from Christian about professionalism, dedication and integrity. I wish him only the best for the future
