  • Chief Growth Officer & Co-founder

    2020 - 2021

    Tractive is the world's leading company for GPS tracking for dogs and cats. More than 7 years ago, I co-founded Tractive with some great colleagues, but I could not work in an operative role, because of my work at Runtastic. My good friend Michael Hurnaus, was the perfect CEO for Tractive and together with his colleagues (Michael, Michael, Wolfgang and many more) they are doing a great job and I'm more than happy to join this terrific team as the role of Chief Growth Officer.
