OUR 5 CORE BELIEFS
Software eats the world
We fully agree with Marc Andreessen’s renowned quote, “Software is eating the world”, and have adopted this as one of our core beliefs – it is key to understand & utilize technology across all value chains and business models no matter the size of the organization.
Being adaptable becomes crucial
The dynamics of change are constantly increasing (necessary prerequisites, general conditions) thus not only understanding these changes but also successfully adapting to them becomes crucial.
Execution excellence is the foundation
The main challenge in Europe is not the lack of state-of-the-art technologies & new digital business models, it’s applying and executing them to address a problem and face competition, globally.
Understand & appreciate creating in ecosystems
Modern roles of suppliers, partners, and competitors are more complex and convoluted with ecosystem models that are constantly evolving. Not only understanding the underlying mechanics but also being an active member in any relevant ecosystem becomes mandatory.
It’s all about the right people
Due to the power & scalability of technology and digital business models, even small teams have become increasingly a decisive factor. Finding, assessing, winning, developing & retaining the right people is more important than ever.
Our Purpose
Make a difference
Our mission is simple - make a difference across Europe by building sustainable, technology - driven business models in a constantly evolving world.
Do bold moves
Our culture requires a strong willingness to go beyond borders and embraces being open to different opinions. We value the importance of making bold moves and the need to adjust quickly to changing environments.
