David Erler, sometimes referred to as Davy or Davy Jones by his friends, is a 26 year old student from Hamburg, Germany. He's currently in his second year of the M.Sc. International Management & Engineering program at [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/startpage.html Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH)]. David also obtainted his B.Sc. degree in Energy & Environmental Engineering at TUHH. Throughout his student career, he's spend semesters at [https://www.eafit.edu.co/institucional/english/Paginas/english-version-universidad-eafit-medellin-colombia-south-america.aspx Universidad EAFIT ] in Medellín, Colombia and [https://www.titech.ac.jp/english/ Tokyo Institute of Technology ] in Japan. Professionally, he is employed as a Junior Consultant and Sales Manager at Hamburg-based IT consultancy [https://c4-group.com/ C4 Group].
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 or 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 can achieve more than a single person. When playing Pokémon on his GameBoy Color at a young age, he considered catching all Pokémon as more of a success than simply skilling one to be successful. As a consequence, David quickly developed a high sense of responsibility for society. So, still being in school, he started to engage in voluntary work, e.g. for the [https://duckdalben.de/setlang/en/?deutsche-seemannsmission-hamburg-harburg-e-w/spende International Seamen's Club Hamburg], the Lycée L[https://lfh.de/fr/ ycée Français de Hambourg], or [http://www.iaeste-hamburg.de/iaeste/home.php IAESTE Hamburg].
Mentors and friends have perceived David as a friendly, proactive and open-minded type of guy. Furthermore, they have valued his quick grasp and his well-founded expertise both in Management and Energy Engineering. Nonetheless, he remains curious and greedy for knowledge. David loves to play soccer and doing water sports, such as wakeboarding or surfing. Also, he has a passion for traveling, techno music and Japanese cuisine. In his spare time, he spends hours on DIY projects.
