Berufserfahrung von Maximilian Eckel
- Bis heute 6 Jahre und 9 Monate, seit Sep. 2018
Head of Coaching & PhD Candidate
RWTH Aachen University
Member of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WIN) chair and the Entrepreneurship Center of RWTH Aachen. I head the coaching of students and researchers that are in the process of founding their own startups by managing a high-profile team with backgrounds in strategy consulting, blue chips, and the startup world. Starting in 2019, RWTH received 8-digit funding to advance its entrepreneurship support which gives us the opportunity to bring our coaching to the next level.

Co-founder & COO
WorkSpex
WorkSpex makes the intangible "human element" in companies measurable by motivating employees to give extensive and regular feedback. It is based on the technology and principles developed with my co-founders during our first venture, Goodnity. Due to my knowledge of the technology and my established network, I helped kickstart the new company by adjusting our old product, acquiring the first customers and investors, and developing the basic framework for the new product.
- 1 Jahr und 11 Monate, Jan. 2015 - Nov. 2016
Co-founder & Head of Sales
Goodnity
Goodnity motivated young audiences to participate in market research and philanthropy by providing charitable donations for answering mobile surveys. Among other things, we secured 6-digit funding from the EU, the German Ministry of Economics, and business angels, received positive media coverage, and built an outstandingly active user base. The cycle-length and project-character of our sales efforts and therefore missing scalability led us to re-evaluate our business model and form a new company.
