Our first meetup in 2024 is coming. We know time is everything in investment but it’s a people business. My 10+ years experience shows me that at least 50% of success is about management so we have to invest into the right people. #hunban #meetup

'Business is a board game. Don't play alone.' This was the motto of the Business Fest today. I fully support this approach, as we at Mediaspace.global say the same thing differently: 'Business is social. Are you?' So, I was honored to be invited to speak on the stage with Veronika Pistyur, CEO of Bridge Budapest and General Partner at Oktogon Ventures, as host, and Gábor Szórád 🤖⚖️ , Product Director at SaferAI. When discussing international business experiences, it's always interesting to see similar patterns and motivations of founders and business leaders. What truly stood out for me this time was the unique atmosphere that Vera, our host, managed to create. It was a rare blend of positivity and pragmatism that made the event truly special. I hope I was able to contribute to that. A few things I'd highlight from our session and the one before: - Starting an international business requires courage and curiosity. - Coming from a small country brings challenges, so you must be determined to overcome them. - Soft skills and a professional network are at least as important as the product itself. + Business growth and individual growth/development of founders/ business leaders happen parallelly. Thank you for the invitation and congrats on the event! #founderstories #internationalexpansion #growth

Together we create a stronger value proposition

Dear Advisory Board and Management of RS Traut GmbH! 🌟 Waking up the morning after a long advisory board meeting and reflecting on it is especially fun when it was productive. The initiatives we started post the succession planning in September 2022 are finally starting to make sense, gain traction, and show results in the KPIs 📊. We've revamped the organizational structure, processes, and team, and our efforts in digitalizing production and HR are making significant strides 💪. We’ve also made some changes in sales today, with more to come throughout the year 📈. We've added new skills with automatic soldering, which we can now offer to our customers for their pipe solutions 🔧. We've managed to form a team from the advisory board, with its wealth of experience, and the young management, that’s driven by the idea of constantly improving and pushing things forward. This spirit and attitude are what you need to achieve something great 🌟. The mood in Germany and the political framework are challenging for a medium-sized company like ours. We're ready to take on those challenges. It feels like we’re just at the beginning, with lots of potential ahead. And this feeling is great because the upside and the hunger to unlock it are there. We want to grow – no, we want to grow big 🚀. If you want to learn more about how you can be part of the team – we always find room for motivated people – or as a customer or supplier, get in touch with one of our young guns: Michael Berle (CEO), Andreas Neubert (CCO), or Johannes Lanz (Head of Production) 📞. Big thanks to the management and my fellow advisory board members Hubert Traut and Albert X. Dr. Kirchmann for this great meeting. Join the Spirit! 🎉 #Growth #Innovation #TeamSpirit #RStraut #Leadership #DigitalTransformation

It's hard to believe it's been five years already, Lukasz Korecki! 🎉 Back in 2019, I set off for Poland to introduce Daktela Poland at our very first expo. We had just teamed up and aimed to establish ourselves in the Polish market. 🇵🇱 The evening before, Lukasz took me and Gabriela Samkova, MBA., Msc. to an unknown local fast food (no fancy diners on the new markets!), and then for a few drinks in Park Szczęśliwicki. It was the same place, where I met with Lukasz this spring during a stopover in Warszaw and took this 2024 picture. 🍔🍻 5 years later, I'm proud to say that Daktela has not only secured its place in Poland but has become a trusted partner for many notable clients. Most importantly, we now have an awesome professional local team, helping companies communicate with their customers better and in a much more organized fashion. 💼🤝 What started as a leap of faith has evolved into a well-established presence, delivering solutions that simplify and enhance customer communication. 🚀 I can't help but feel excited about what’s next for Daktela Poland! ✨ #BusinessGrowth #CustomerExperience #TeamSuccess #MarketExpansion #Leadership
