Head of Corporate Innovation Management mit einem Master in Strategischem Management und aktueller Forschungstätigkeit zum Thema “Organizational Development towards a Climate of Innovation“ in einer externen Promotion an der RWTH Aachen. Meine Steckenpferde sind das analytische und operative Handling von Innovation, die Einschätzung disruptiver Marktveränderungen, sowie klassische Strategieentwicklung. Mich selbst verstehe ich als Intrapreneur, Treiber des kulturellen Wandels und Impulsgeber aus Leidenschaft, mit einer besonderen Faszination für das Fuzzy Front End. Mein Leitspruch, wenn es um das Management von Innovation geht: “Culture eats Strategy for breakfast“ (Peter Drucker)

 

Pop in the Job - was mich begeistert:

Innovationsmanagement ist eine Operation am offenen Herzen der Organisation – und damit für mich die tägliche Herausforderung und Chance, zum nachhaltigen Erfolg unseres Unternehmens einen entscheidenden Beitrag zu leisten.

Today, the Group’s products are sold worldwide in over 110 countries. This success is based on two brands: edding and Legamaster. edding represents variety and expertise in all matters relating to colour, primarily due to its range of markers and writing implements. From the classic permanent marker through to special-purpose products such as the UV marker and cable marker, or products for DIYers and creative types, there are over 180 markers across the edding range. Since 2015, edding has also been cropping up in beauty departments throughout Germany: edding L.A.Q.U.E.®, the edding among nail varnishes, adds vibrant colour to nails. What’s more, thanks to innovative edding Permanent Resist® technology, it is also ultra-resistant to scratches and chipping. Our second pillar is represented by Legamaster, a specialist in visual communication. In over 60 years of successful business, we have always actively adapted our products in line with the latest trends and developments in communications technology. Whether it be classic-style flipcharts and whiteboards or electronic touch screens and interactive whiteboards, we ensure more effective teaching and more successful meetings.
