Über mich
"I have never owned or used any of the products that I have so successfully sold and marketed over the years during my career- but I have the unique ability to immerse in very different industries and applications but still retain a professional distance so that my passion and enthusiasm doesn't cloud my judgement (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/marketing-when-you-own-emotions-values-get-way-eugen-gassmann/). I truly believe the design of a product is critical for the success and needs to be deeply rooted in its application and use. It was so often an uphill battle in the industrial space (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/form-follows-function-eugen-gassmann/) to get management buy in for this and I have just recently got the confirmation again how essential design is in supporting the value proposition."
