I have worked for various companies in the automotive, sport, construction machinery, food, tech and trade industry and have excellent references.

Automotive

“Mr. Birn has an extremely quick grasp and ability to implement and always completed his tasks to our complete satisfaction. He permanently showed an extremely high level of commitment and willingness to perform. Mr. Birn took responsibility at all times and maintained his equilibrium even in stressful situations. His exemplary team orientation was just as much a part of his qualification profile as his always very high resilience and doer mentality.”

— Dr. Michael Löffler, Director Marketing Planning Porsche AG



Sport

“Tobias has an excellent knowledge of sales analysis, even in peripheral areas. He provided decision-relevant presentations that were decisive input for managerial decisions. He familiarised himself with the special circumstances of our industry in a very short time.”

— Peter Aschauer, CEO & Owner ABS Peter Aschauer GmbH



“It was the combination of his excellent knowledge of the sport industry, the application of current digitalisation trends and, last but not least, the development of a deep understanding of our business model that fully convinced us of Tobias. Our customers were always at the centre of his work on strategic sales options.”

— Benedikt Böhm, CEO Dynafit

Construction machines

“Mr. Birn always mastered his field of work professionally and was very familiar with all processes and structures of the company at all times. His very quick comprehension enabled Mr. Birn to immediately overview even the most difficult situations at any time and to always recognise the essentials.”

— Peter Schrader, Managing Director Zeppelin Rental GmbH

Food

“Tobias supported us excellently with his analytical approach with the development of a pricing strategy, the derivation of measures. External partners were coordinated optimally and always in our interest.”

— Sebastian Wiese, CEO Getnow New GmbH

Tech

“Tobias created the go-to-market strategy for the DACH region and carried the project through to a pilot. The permanent customer perspective he takes on, his knowledge in the areas of sales and rental and last but not least his extremely professional approach led to a successful completion of the project in an extremely short time.”

— Asgeir Helland, CEO Sharefox AS, Norway

“As Head of Platform Strategy & Operations ad interim, Tobias was responsible for the realignment of our e-procurement platform. Through the customer-centric realignment of business processes and the creation of new product features in an agile development environment, we were able to enhance our platform tremendously. We benefited from Tobias’ solution-oriented and hands-on approach, which led to a fast and straightforward implementation.”

— Michael Petri, Managing Director, simple system GmbH & Co. KG

Trade

“Tobias very quickly familiarised himself with his role as Director of Global Pricing & Margin Management ad interim and then significantly optimised the price steering of the Berner Group with the help of specific measures. He has implemented many other initiatives to professionalise pricing in particular through his integrative and modern way of leadership. We have come to know Tobias as someone who communicates openly, works in a very results-oriented manner and is always responsive to the individual needs of his employees.”

— Dr. Sebastian Bülte, Vice President International Marketing

 

“Tobias completely revised our strategic sales approach as part of a buy & build approach, backed it up with measures and supported us during implementation. Thanks to him, we have become significantly more efficient and were able to create the basis for further scaling. Tobias impressed us with his analytical approach and focus on results as well as his proactive and integrative manner. We are absolutely impressed by the quality and speed of his work.”

— Bernd Seufert, CEO klein, aber fein – Ounda GmbH
