This goes to the e-com bubble 🫧 toern is transforming the way we manage returns today 📦 ...and they are looking for go getters to co-create their trajectory! For those that are looking for a new challenge, are able / open to work from Hamburg and, as a cherry on top, have previous experience in e-com or fashion, check them out 🔥 They are a great team and I highly enjoy working with them!

"Do we have to start all over again?" 🤯 It depends, but generally speaking: yes. This week, I had the great honor of joining the #StartupWelcomePackage program (powered by Pioniergeist GmbH, Wirtschaftsförderung Region Stuttgart GmbH, STEYG, and GoToMarket.Ninja) as a mentor for aspiring international startups from all over the world. 🔹 Their quest: enter the German market. 🔸 Their findings: the regulatory environment, cultural differences, consumer preferences, as well as the language barrier, require a lot of patience and rethinking every approach that worked so nicely before. 'cause se Germans just hit differently 🥊 Spending so many hours and learning about their challenges, but also feeling their drive and dedication, demonstrated, that entering a new market can mean starting all over again. The way forward? Taking a step back. Shifting into the early-stage mindset again. Getting to know the market and the people in that market. Sharpening the value message specifically for this market. It's as simple as that. Bearing in mind that they already have secured pole positions in their home markets such as Brazil, Estonia, Ireland, or Switzerland, makes it even juicier. 🎩 Chapeau to those, who do it anyway. We can learn a lot from you!

Embracing the entrepreneurial journey, yet not so solo...🌱 Our 2nd edition of the Solo Salon proved once again, that solopreneurship does not necessarily mean working in solitude and instead of buzzing around, let's reconsider our titles to true business owners once more. Co-hosting alongside Alexander Klebe, we welcomed a inspiring bunch of individuals in the beautiful space of Ocean Studio Berlin last Thursday! 🤩 My highlight? Witnessing my esteemed mentor Alex T. Steffen, dedicating his time to share insights out of 9+ years in positioning, speaking and value-creation: 1. Niche Positioning: Dare to carve out a niche so unique that others question its market viability. 2. Timing: Recognize that timing often trumps apparent need. 3. Visible Value: Creating value is paramount, but showcasing it effectively is what truly matters. Heartfelt thanks to Alexander Klebe and Dennis Sprute for curating this much needed forum and Marc Jaspers for capturing the essence 📸 And of course, many thanks to our participants Katja Kiessler-Funken MBA 🎱 Levi Yosef Riccardo De Gasperin Philipp Kallenbach David Meyer Atom Seven and many others. ✨ That said, last week's salon also officially marks the start of my very own journey of value-creation, niche positioning as well as my most favourite of all: building authentic relationships in sales!

See you tomorrow, dear Solopreneurs? 💥

Round #3 it is 🔥 Yesterday we kicked-off our new Dinner-To-Connect series in #hamburg. Grateful for the opportunity to exchange new ideas and personal highlights in #ecommerce with experienced and new faces. Thank you for the good chats! ➡ ...and for those, who missed it: Good news, we will meet again TONIGHT in #berlin (registry in the comments). #munich and #cologne coming in September ✨ Hope to see you there!

"In the past years, many companies hired Innovation Managers for the true purpose of exploration. To show: “we are innovative”. Not a fact, but our perception when talking to businesses in the German “Mittelstand”. Many times these positions were neither equipped with their own budget nor a tech team backing them up with support. In Germany, it is common to say “zahnlose Tiger”. This is changing dramatically. Many companies allow their innovation and digitalization managers to do their own investments and the C-Level really starts to listen. A huge step in the right direction." Thank you Robert Kaletsch for this very insightful AI trend overview. Can't wait to see whole industries changing! #innovation https://lnkd.in/ePeMrJ4

This is (part of) the amazing crew behind another successful Rydoo Take Off Virtual Event.

Thanks to Rydoo I also had the chance to moderate my first full virtual conference and what can I say, I had great fun! 🎉 This year brought a lot of challenges and chances, yet it warms my heart to see all of us happy in our closing ceremony yesterday 🤗 I am in awe of the great performances, team work and authenticity that made this event very special. I'll be dwelling in the Take Off blues in the next coming days and weeks for sure. To many more great events to come! 🍾 #rydoo #takeoff
