Experience is an Asset

This week was quite special. After more than 28 years, Detlef Hessler is leaving us for a well-deserved retirement. He had started at Pünder, Volhard, Weber & Axster in 1994 before the merger.

He was always at the interface between IT, Finance, Controlling, and HR, as well as responsible for data exchange with the authorities. He structured, simplified, standardised, and automated like hell. He leaves behind a well-ordered house and I am glad that Paul Haas will succeed him. But I miss Detlef already.

The Code of Conduct

Katrin and I facilitated a Code of Conduct workshop for our notorious and infamous Innovation & Best Delivery Hub team. Many thanks to our great colleagues for their friendliness, openness, commitment, and inspiring discussions. We’re a great firm with a great culture, but to always be at the forefront of ethical, responsible, and sustainable business we must all constantly campaign for the Code.
