Founders Keepers’ Post

Last Thursday marked a pivotal moment as we co-hosted a DEI Roundtable at our Doctolib office in Kreuzberg, organized by Talent. It was a special occasion, bringing together around 45 DEI enthusiasts to exchange ideas on "Building a sustainable DEI strategy." I had the pleasure of reconnecting with inspiring individuals from my first roundtable at Zalando, as well as meeting new faces and amazing personalities!💙 I want to highlight Mark Ivan Serunjogi and Meike Dietzel, who both did an amazing job facilitating our breakout groups, enabling us to come up with the following key learning outcomes 🗝: - Building a sustainable DEI strategy requires time, patience, and incremental steps - Put emphasis on a "shared vision" for DEI in the workplace to foster belonging and celebration - Data collection, be it quantitative or qualitative, is crucial for building a solid business case - Pitching initiatives effectively can lead to buy-in, accountability, and access to resources - Various approaches exist to pitch DEI initiatives, focusing on stakeholder engagement and making the vision tangible for everyone - Last, but not least: continously bringing the community together and to create this space for open discussion, ideas and for connections is vital and so reassuring! A huge thank you to Lisa Bartlett, Matthew Harland & Fynn Lüttge for the incredible and smooth collaboration. It truly was such a pleasure to team-up with you! #DEI #DEIroundtable #community #talent #DEIstrategy #impact

Change is happening - and it's happening faster and at a greater scale than ever before. This trend comes up, in some form or another, in nearly every conversation I have with revenue leaders these days. And, if you don't build adaptability into the DNA of your business and your GTM, then you are going to be on the losing end. Moran Laufer and the Factorial team are a great example of a company that prioritizes this flexibility, and it's part of the reason they've managed to scale so quickly. With DealHub.io, Factorial was able to improve their pricing strategy and be more flexible with the right policies, such as applying different discounts to maximize revenue. Just one of the many reasons I'm so enthusiastic about the work the team here at DealHub is doing with our amazing customers! #Flexibility #Adaptability #CPQ

Truth is: In only 9 years... Propel Software is disrupting the #PLM category with product value management, which extends the digital thread beyond design and engineering to foster role-based collaboration across the entire company. Revolutionizing industry standards by consistently releasing three major product upgrades per year to continually reduce risk, decrease time to market, and ensure customer success. Receiving recognition from prestigious organizations like Forrester, Fortune, and Deloitte, solidifying our position as a leader in the industry. But our achievements go beyond accolades – last year alone, Propel achieved double-digit percentage increases in new business. In addition, 80% of its customer base expanded business with Propel. We've certainly come a long way since filing incorporation papers on Earth Day in 2015. 🌎 Here's to another year of driving change, making a positive impact, and shaping the future of product lifecycle management. #customerfirst #voiceofthecustomer #voc #salesforceplatform #cloudagnostic #erpintegration #plm #qms #pim #productlifecyclemanagement #qualitymanagement #productinformationmanagement #earthday #foundersday #accolades #acheivements #salesforceworldtour #engineering #salesforceadmin #netsuitepartner #greatplacestowork #startup #saas #vcbacked #engineeringchangeorder #eco #dco #commercecloud #servicecloud #marketingcloud #customersuccess #exitstrategy

It’s my 1st year anniversary with ThinkOn Australia! It’s been a great year, and I’m proud to be part of the team. Here are 3 factors I find to be major differentiators for ThinkOn👇🏻 ⤷ Culture: Collaboration is at the core of the company. It’s not a buzzword; it’s how we operate daily. It’s top-down, with everyone ready to step in and support each other. The culture is truly phenomenal – everyone has a voice and there’s mutual trust. ⤷ The Building-Block Strategy: I’m a huge fan of this! We “snap” together services (like LEGO blocks) to create perfect solutions for our customers (MSPs). The way these services are packaged is spot-on & the messaging is clear, simple, and brilliantly delivered. Everything is about ease, speed, and innovation! ⤷ Making a REAL Difference for Aussie MSPs: We're channel-ONLY, and offer cost-effective services with no vendor lock-in and transparent pricing. No hidden fees and no nickel-and-diming. We’re flexible (not punitive), and no MSP is left to fail. Happy end customers are our top priority! I feel like I’ve only just begun to tap into the full potential of ThinkOn Australia. I’m excited to see what the future holds and look forward to continue contributing to the company’s growth! #cloudsolutions #cloudservices #cloudserviceprovider

🚀 Exciting Journey of Growth and Innovation! 🌟 Grateful to be part of this incredible journey since September 2022, where I embarked on a mission to scale up our business at Fordonsbolaget. 🚀 Founded 12 years ago by two visionary entrepreneurs at the age of 22, the company has always been driven by passion and a relentless pursuit of excellence. When I joined, we set our sights on a new growth narrative, determined to take the business to new heights. From day one, the team and I dove into the challenge, working tirelessly to establish robust business processes that would serve as the foundation for our expansion. It's been an exhilarating experience to witness the transformation and evolution of our strategies, all aimed at delivering a first-class customer experience. One of the most exciting milestones on this journey has been the commencement of the construction of our new 11,000 sqm facility close to Arlanda Airport. This state-of-the-art space is not just a physical expansion; it's a testament to our commitment to innovation and providing unparalleled service to our valued customers. And now, I'm thrilled to share another exciting development with all of you! As we package our future and usher in a new era, we are proud to introduce our new brand - WOWTO🌟 WOWTO encapsulates the essence of our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the extraordinary. It's not just a brand; it's a promise to our customers, partners, and team members that we are dedicated to delivering WOW-worthy experiences in everything we do. The dedication and hard work of every team member have been the driving force behind our success. Together, we've overcome challenges, celebrated victories, and created a workplace culture that thrives on collaboration and entrepneurial spirit. As we look towards the future, I am filled with optimism and pride. The journey to scale up the business has not only been about numbers; it's a story of resilience, determination, and the unwavering belief that together, we can achieve greatness. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every member of the Fordonsbolaget family for being a part of this transformative experience.
