Considering global energy transition and digitalization to be some of the greatest challenges of his generation, David wishes to make an impact by facilitating sustainable innovation via digital innovation ecosystems. This is why he technologically specializes in renewable energies. Business-wise, David is curious about ways to let customers actively partcipate in shaping a company's value proposition. Consequently, he likes to engage in Sales, Marketing and Innovation Management activities embracing concepts, such as Design Thinking or Lead Users. So, whenever you need need help about Sales & Marketing strategies, approaches for cold calling, feel free to reach out to David. He's also open to chit-chats about renewables energies and digitalization at any time. Networking and bringing people of different backgrounds together has always been of great interest for David. Ever since being a kid, he's liked to be in good company and to help people. This early led to his belief that a group of people will always achieve more than a single person. When playing Pokémon on his GameBoy Color at a young age, he always considered catching all Pokémon as more of a success than simply skilling one to be successful. As a consequence, David has always liked to be engaged in voluntary work, e.g. for the International Seamen's Club Hamburg, the Lycée Français de Hambourg, or IAESTE Hamburg.
