Mission Future - My 1st year with Daimler

365 days ago I arrived in my little Airbnb-apartment in Stuttgart-Wangen, way too excited to find any sleep. I got up at 4 am the next day, ready for a new adventure. Corporate, the dark side, PR, company... I can't even recall all the different definition, statements, and prejudices I faced on various social media channel during the weeks after Daimler announced that I will join them.

Well, this was a year ago and it's still mindblowing to me how fast we raced through these last 12 months.

I seriously considered giving you guys a massive roundup of all these previous adventures, challenges and results we achieved in 2017. To be honest... it makes no sense whatsoever. You just can't change the past, no matter how exciting it was or how many amazing results you were able to achieve.

Besides the fact that I met so many amazing colleagues from all over the world. As someone who travels all over the place for almost 2 decades, who left Germany over 10 years ago to look for new adventures in the US and finally at my new home Taiwan, this is probably the most rewarding achievement of them all. It's about the people and how they welcome you to their team. How they make you feel at home and accept you, your opinion and experiences. This was truly amazing. Especially the way they gave me space and freedom to express my opinions and strategies. I couldn't ask for a better environment and culture.

To the moon...

But hey, I hear you. You got it... I love my new job. These new challenges and adventures I'm facing every day and that I'm fundamentally impressed by the way this company transforms.

And that's exactly what this is all about. Forget about what you've done and think about what you are capable of creating in the future. What's next? What could be the upcoming idea, platform, tool, format, process that will change the way we do corporate communication?

I believe in this future and I'm pretty sure that we will deliver. The future of mobility, the future of transport, the future of logistics and an exciting future for corporate communication.

Stay tuned...
