𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭❤️ In summer 1974, two Siemens employees meet at the train station 𝘚𝘪𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘬𝘦. That meeting changed their lives – and mine. Over 50 years later, the child born from that story proudly steps into the role of 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐀𝐆. This isn’t just a career move. It feels like destiny – a story that began with Siemens and now continues with me, helping shape the future of AI and innovation for a company that’s been part of my family’s story from the very beginning. I was very lucky to start my journey with the opportunity to meet the Siemens IT and Vendor Management leadership team in the 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 on my first day, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. Grateful for the trust, energized by the possibilities, and ready to navigate the next chapter together. Here’s to building the next frontier – with purpose, passion, and partnership. ___________ 🤗 A heartfelt thank you to the incredible people and brilliant minds who have been part of this journey so far Gabriele Eder, Christoph Stähn, and Eick-Hendrik von Ramin – for the trust you placed in me during the application process and for sharing your vision and expertise with me.
