June 2025 marked my 8th anniversary at ALTEN Germany. Moreover it has been my last month of activity for our german subsidiary, before taking on a new challenge and responsibility as director for ALTEN Nederland. Occasions like the Alten Germany Summit and several others have been good opportunities to reunite with colleagues and reflect on the years of activity in Stuttgart. My conclusions: It all happened so fast. We’ve evolved and adapted so many times that I almost lost count, both in terms of business, customer relationship and internal structures and processes. We realized extreme growth, but we also had significant setbacks. But through all these phases, I truly believe that we have built something special and I’m really grateful to have been a part of this development. Many thanks are due, some of them to people that have since moved on from our organisation. Thanks Yves-Antoine Brun, Rene Esser & Marco H. for trusting & supporting me from the beginning, but also for being true role models, each in your own way. Thank you Pierre Marcel, Jens Aigner and Daniel Grieger for putting up with my style and dealing with all my ideas, propositions. Also for giving me the room to explore those ideas. Thanks Karl Philipp Klumpp Ferdinand Friebel Sven M. Michael Rickers Nadine Klink Gido Henze Marijana Meyer Camille Aladjem Mark-Jannik Storch Deborah Viola Wolff Christian Kullmann André Reger Pascal B. Julian Kunert Anne-Laure Reyjal Holger Stock for being true colleagues, always dependable, dedicated, and cooperative! To all the current and former members of my sales and management team in a somewhat chronological order, Aileen Schnur Fotios Hatziioannidis Welf Kessler Onur Polat Bernhard Mathes Jelena Süpfle Jonas Kapp Lukas Hehn Marcus Zoller Yvonne Pieroni Dirk Kuhn Marc Groß Louis-Matteo Lang Jeremy Kielman Benjamin Hassler Dennis Heininger Markus Specht every one of you contributed, in their own way, to building a special culture that strives for a high standard of quality, customer and employee intimacy as well as outright performance. But moreover, you have helped create a resilient organisation that also retains a sense of humor and doesn`t take itself too seriously. Your original and personalized fare-well gifts 🎁 prove this as well, Thank you! 😂 It‘s been a blast to shape this culture with all of you. Now, it‘s time for you to take what we`ve learned and shape your own orgas. You have all it takes, so rock on! Naturally, a huge number of thanks are due to the hundreds of engineers I‘ve had the pleasure to collaborate with over the years. Too many to mention, too many for Linkedin to link, but you all know who you are. Thank you for trusting me and the team, thanks for your dedication and your efforts. It has been an honor to work with you. While our collaboration might look different in the future, I am very glad to stay your colleague and a part of the Alten family.✌🏽
