Blue changes into orange

All excited as today I will start with my new role at q.beyond AG. I already had the pleasure to sneak-in early and to meet with some of my new colleagues. I am sure it will be an interesting journey and there is so much to discover and to learn for me on the one hand - as there is also areas, where I can contribute with my experience and expertise collected and grown over the last years. Looking very much forward to continue working with Dirk Maas Christian Link and also from today onwards with Waldemar Gerlach, Klaus-Peter, Henrik and all the others. Big thanks and cudos also to People & Culture at q.beyond: it was not just another onboarding process - I felt and I feel taken care of and supported from start and treated very well.

Whenever a new chapter starts, another comes to an end at the same time. I want to say thank you again also public to Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, where I spent 15 years in total. It was good times always. I was touched by all the personal messages as a response on my farewell e-mail. I am blessed that I had the chance to always work with the best and this huge global community. I′ve got many chances and a lot of suppport at any time. So thank you again to everyone but especially and to Soenke Soeht, Christian Doganer, Matthias Kie?ling, Velinda Cox, Olaf Lorenz for leading and shaping me, but also to believe and to trust in me. Also thank you to my Avengers and partners in crime in GBS Consulting Michael Stalke, Filipe Alexandre Ribeiro, Philipp Abendroth - stay strong as you are and keep your individual superpowers!

Finally thank you as well to the closest colleagues, where I′ve had the chance to work with continously, to learn from and to travel the world in so many client cases: Yves Takke Emilie Combs Christian Heckmann Stephan Eckstein Christian Haunert Simone Fischer Anne Courtine Stefan Baudendistel Gunnar Baschek Cécile Michel-Chassagne Bryan Gilbert Maria Harrysson Patrick Blochwitz Ron Wallas Delphine Hertel Milan S. Lakhani Paul Chaplin FRSA Bruno Carrilho Arame Shanazari Michael Quillen Veronica Guevara Felipe Pavía Cervera Peter Gyetvai Eleonora Gerenzani Ray Liu MATTHEW YEO Tadashi Gion Bernd Wachmann Matthias Greiner Ante Borau. It was a pleasure and a honor at the same time. A lot of places, moments, wins and lessons learned will be kept and in best memory.

Now I am ready for the new and to not only "#expect the next" but to experience it and to contribute actively.
