There are approximately 35,000 IT companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland combined. Of these, fewer than 800 companies have one or more proprietary products. HighPots is one of those companies that have successfully developed and operate their own products. So, we are not just service providers, but also manufacturers. And we also look for good IT personnel to balance peak loads
out. Thus, we not only have experience in release management and maintenance of software products, but we also find it easy to identify with our customers’ situations. HighPots operates in the market with approximately 130 IT experts. Our focus areas are software development, requirements engineering (technical
requirements management) and data analytics. All 3 areas are necessary to successfully implement machine learning for our customers. See, for example, the Data Analytics Case Study from our cooperation project with the University of Oxford.

Academically, I am a natural and engineering scientist. However, my professional role now resembles that of a juggler.
I always ensure that all balls – whether sales, software development, marketing, or R – run in an orderly trajectory; of course, I constantly adapt these trajectories to the dynamics of the market and technological progress.
What applies to all HighPots employees also applies to management: we are given work time to develop, test, and present our own ideas, services, or prototypes to clients.
I also use my time for the development of new research methods. As a physicist and engineer, I combine scientific methods with methods from epistemology, process philosophy, and the sociology of knowledge. In my “old age”, I even re-enrolled at the university to study sociology for this purpose.
HighPots was founded in the 1980s as a tutoring association to help students. The idea of helping is still firmly anchored in the HighPots DNA – regardless of whether it concerns students, adults, or organizations today.
For me, there is no greater purpose than purposeful, peaceful, and lively interactions and the realization of a common goal that every participant is passionate about.
In this respect, every new workday is a grounding event for me. This develops a great joy and curiosity that I transfer to colleagues, customers, and partners.
