About Dennis

Change is the only constant that drives a company forward.

In the early phase, I support companies in corporate venturing in building new business areas or entirely new business models.
During the growth phase, my services are primarily valued for process optimization, corporate development, and strategy development.

However, most can be achieved in the transformation phase, when risks can be turned into thorny opportunities through turnaround and restructuring measures.

I accompany you as an equal partner at the organizational, leadership, and/or team level.

For operational support, I go through every step with you and show you what really matters: the will, the knowledge, and the methodology.

As an entrepreneur, lecturer, and consultant, I have advanced companies in retail, network infrastructure, and automotive in recent years with appropriate methodologies (e.g., SAFe, Prince2, Scrum ..) and have sometimes enabled new horizons. It is important not only to identify problems but also to help the customer fix and implement them. This includes, among other things:

+ Agile training/coaching at all levels
+ Taking over operational leadership positions
+ Organizational & team development, moderation, conflict mediation
+ Methodological support (Scrum, Kanban, Design Thinking)
+ Coaching of self-organization & cross-functionality
+ Development of mission, vision, common rules, and goals
+ Identifying development and optimization potentials
+ Visualizations of work processes & decision paths
+ Data-driven decisions (Jira, Burndown Charts)

My clients include, among others, Telefonica, Porsche, Daimler, Audi, the European Investment Fund, and various mechanical engineers, manufacturing companies, energy suppliers, and venture capitalists.

Best regards,
Dennis Wayer

Experience

  • kudjoo GmbH
    Founder & Managing Director
    DIGITAL AND IT
    May 2021 - Today (5 years and 1 month)
    Baden-Baden, Germany
    As the founder and development manager of kudjoo, I am responsible for the complete development and market readiness of an innovative platform for mediating short-term help in a peer-to-peer format. Kudjoo is aimed at people who need urgent support – and at helpers who want to step in flexibly and fairly insured.

    My role includes:
    • End-to-end responsibility for product development, UX, technical requirements management, and stakeholder management
    • Identification of product-market fit through validated hypotheses, user feedback, and continuous testing
    • Development of the remuneration and escalation model (fixed price, bonus, no-show deposit, dispute management)
    • Management of technical implementation with a freelancer team (frontend, backend, API, infrastructure)
    • Venturing & Go-to-Market: Business model design, legal structuring (intermediary status, tax logic), monetization (commission model), brand positioning
    • Scaling strategy for the DACH region, including modular internationalization options, translation features, and legally compliant job assignment

    Background:
    The idea for kudjoo arose from the desire to make the principle of "help at the push of a button" as simple, reliable, and binding as online shopping. Traditional emergency channels (police, social media, friends) often fail in terms of structure, reach, or security – kudjoo fills this gap with smart technology and a clear framework for trust and fairness.
