You actually trained as a banker — so why did you end up in the IT sector? And how did you come to exccon?

During my training as a banker, I had initial experience with IT and decided to start studying in order to continue my education in this area. My curiosity was piqued, I had seen that there were more things to discover. In addition, the rigid hierarchies in the bank were too restrictive for me and the IT systems too outdated, which also motivated me to start my studies and leave the bank. I already knew exccon as a consulting company for IT service management. Since I have worked in this area myself for many years and exccon has very good know-how in this area, I applied.

‍

What did you do before joining exccon?

Before joining exccon, I worked in service management for many years and as a system engineer, service manager, change manager and process owner, thus practising many ITIL roles.

‍

What was the best decision in your career?

To start studying computer science after completing my banking apprenticeship and always take on a new challenge at the right moment and change my job.

‍

What do you like about exccon? What do you enjoy most about your job?

What I like about exccon is the flexibility, the professional orientation and the colleagues. What I particularly like about my team / colleagues is the respectful interaction with each other, the know-how and the fact that everyone is always there for each other. In my job, I enjoy setting clear responsibilities and creating transparency.

Describe xeccon in three words!

You are employed as a senior consultant at exxcon. Can you tell us a bit more about what you're doing? What does someone have to bring with them to do your job?

I manage junior consultants and further their personal development. I lead teams in customer projects and develop solutions and new products. For this job, you need a lot of experience, empathy, good comprehension and the will to change.

‍

What are the benefits of working from home? And: How does the company manage to convey a team spirit, even when employees are working from home?

When working from home, I appreciate the fact that the long journey to the office is eliminated and that I have a retreat to prepare for customer appointments. We have a meeting every morning where we discuss current project topics as well as private issues. In this way, we always have a good connection with each other and can easily “ratchet” together and get rid of what hinders or disturbs us. This gives us a good feeling to start the day and creates a good team spirit.
