After more than nine exciting years, the time has come for me to turn the page and start a new chapter. I have decided to step down from my position as managing director of FINcredible. In 2016, I founded FINcredible together with Christian Ochs, PhD, Alexander Eisl, Karl Weinmayer, Yon Sebal and Valentina Gasser, and since then had the privilege of building and developing the company strategically and operationally as managing director together with Christian and Michael Pavlik. Thank you Christian and Michael, it was a pleasure working together with the two of you! My personal highlights over the last few years: 1) the successful registration of FINcredible as the first Austrian account information service provider with FMA Finanzmarktaufsicht Österreich. 2) the founding and successful integration of our wholly-owned coding subsidiary FINcode in Belgrade/Serbia 3) the launches of our most important product lines for KYC, creditworthiness and payment information data 4) the deal closings with exciting major clients in the banking, finance and real-estate industries. I would like to sincerely thank my fellow managing directors, my co-founders, and, above all, the entire FINcredible and FINcode teams for their dedication and enthusiasm and the collaboration over the past years. A big thank you especially to Maryam Farsi, Johannes Grabenhofer, Miloš Kuveljić, and Jakob Secklehner! Special thanks also go to the management team of our investor (KSV1870 Group), the managing directors Ricardo-José Vybiral and Hannes Frech, as well as the president’s office with Roland Wernik, Reinhold Süßenbacher and Wolfgang Wahlmüller. I would also like to thank all KSV1870 employees, especially in the sales team, for their dedicated support: Angelika Bachmayer, Donjeta Berisha, Thierry Lucio Galler, Nicole Fabsits, Viktor G., Stephan Kletzmayr, Peter Neuwerth, Ehinabo Omoighe, Sabine Popovski, Silvi Wiedeck, Sylvia Riska-Reichhold, Stefan Wurzl, MDes; Gergely Kiss, Florian Valente, Gerhard Wagner, Günther Fasching, Robert Staubmann, Tomas Hrdlicka, Markus Potthast, Toney Rai, Daniela Gruenwald, Julia Sokic, Walter Koch, Luca R., Rudolf Welser, Thomas Rieder, Roman Tahbaz, ... I will always feel attached to the FINcredible family and look forward to witnessing all exciting developments yet to come. So besides spending summer with my family and my kids, what comes next for me personally? I will be able to share an update on that in a few days. In any case, I look forward to new perspectives and challenges in a very exciting and familiar field - until then, have a wonderful summer as well!
