Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Max
I am an entrepreneur and managing director with a focus on e-commerce and brand building. In recent years, I have built several brands and have intensely engaged with the connection between product, production, and sales. I am particularly interested in how a good idea becomes a functioning business model.
I enjoy working pragmatically and directly. Instead of writing long strategy papers, I prefer to try things out, optimize processes, and develop solutions that actually work in everyday life. Especially in e-commerce, very efficient setups can often be built with clear structures, automation, and the right partners.
Through my role as managing director, I am very familiar with the operational challenges in companies – from production and sales to customer service. I bring precisely this practical perspective to projects.
