About Maximilian

IT generalist with strategic IT know-how and real implementation competence. Building on my two degrees and 15 years of IT experience in companies of various sizes - from the family niche player Whisky.de and the food unicorn Gustavo Gusto to the industry leader Aldi Süd, I have been offering manufacturer- and solution-independent digitalization competence since 2023.

I love to penetrate complex problems economically and technically and to develop practical solutions that go far beyond one-dimensional PowerPoint presentations. I am equally competent in presenting decision-making bases for C-level as I am in the details of debugging - thus creating the ideal bridge between strategic business thinking and technical expertise.

With my broad IT knowledge and my sound business understanding, I ensure that my concepts are not only theoretically convincing but also integrate seamlessly into existing business processes without causing negative side effects on other systems. For me, a business case is not an abstract construct, but the starting point for concrete, measurable success. With passion and foresight, I implement innovative projects, optimize processes, and thus create sustainable added value for your company. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

Experience

  • Consulting for Digital Commerce M. Hecht
    IT / Business Consultant
    November 2023 - Today (2 years and 8 months)
    As a caretaker and doer, I support medium-sized and smaller companies in the targeted, cost-optimal, and rapid realization of potential through the selection, adaptation, and introduction of IT solutions.

    I bring comprehensive business and industry understanding in the areas of retail, wholesale, grocery retail, and e-commerce. My quick comprehension and transfer thinking enable me to implement automations and interfaces quickly and successfully even in new environments.

    I offer the following core services:
    - Digital Strategy / IT Strategy (especially for companies without a CIO!)
    - Data Analysis / Business Intelligence (Roadmap, solution implementation, execution)
    - EDI / Interfaces / API connections - I operate solution-independently and always choose the middleware that suits your environment.
    - Automation / digitalization of business processes, especially in the areas of goods flow, logistics, finance, and order processing.
    - Application development for smaller add-ons/solutions
    - As-is analysis and evaluation
    - NIS2, GDPR, and IT Security Know-How
  • Gustavo Gusto GmbH & Co. KG
    Senior Product Owner
    December 2023 - June 2024 (6 months)
    Wolfratshausen, BY, Germany
    As Senior Product Owner for Digital Supply Chain, I aligned IT activities with the business, prioritized the backlog, and actively assisted in the implementation of important projects, such as EDI connections to suppliers and customers or the automation/digitalization of processes in outbound logistics. I also supported the CIO in reorganizing internal IT and in tendering managed infrastructure services.
  • Whisky.de
    Director IT & Finance, Authorized Signatory
    September 2017 - November 2023 (6 years and 2 months)
    Seeshaupt, BY, Germany
    As Director of IT and Digital Transformation Leader, I developed and implemented innovative IT and e-commerce strategies and projects that drove digital transformation and created sustainable competitive advantages.

    I optimized logistics processes as well as supplier and contract management, thereby securing strategic partnerships and improving cost structures. By building an integrated IT landscape, I enabled seamless system integration and automated business processes using modern business applications and ERP systems. I also established secure online payment processing and implemented effective fraud prevention measures.

    Some projects I implemented there:
    - MS365 Implementation (incl. PowerBI, MS Teams, telephony via Teams)
    - Hybrid server infrastructure
    - Enabling remote work (just in time before Corona)
    - Introduction of DMS system (Accantum)
    - Digitalization of accounting and payment reconciliation
    - Process automations (e.g., automatic order processing, fraud prevention)

    Through targeted digitalization projects, I sustainably increased the operational efficiency and transparency of the company.
