She believes that sustainable digital transformation is a global and generational task. She is firmly convinced that digital technology, coupled with business innovation, is the key to a sustainable society in which the balance between prosperity, peace and nature is established and maintained in the long term.

But where there are risks, there are also opportunities.

Christian Büchner

“The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.” (John C. Maxwell)

+ On my way of continuous learning, improving, failing, learning again and improving further – as a leader, as an innovator, as a human being.

+ Always interested in building the IT of the future – not in theory and not greenfield, by all means revolutionary and radical, but with clear focus on human being and by involving all individuals in our organization.

+ Very interested in digitization and innovation, as “innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” (Steve Jobs).

+ Digitization around the human being as a customer (new technologies, products and services, usage and monetizazion of data, digital sales), but also around the human being as an employee (process efficiency, automation, standardization).

+ Technology never occurs without a use case, but rather creates new use cases and must be selected and implemented for a specific use case.

+ Head of a great and exciting team at SachsenEnergie AG.

+ Living in Frankfurt, working in Dresden.

+ Fan of Green Bay Packers and Eintracht Frankfurt.
