How I got into technical Marketing
Born as the son of an American Doctor and a German nurse, I wanted to be a doctor all of his life.
Well, not all my life.
When turning 18, I realized that as a doctor you can help only so many people. As a “digital native”, I saw what technology can do for people. So, I set out into the tech world as a digital marketer.
The dream of becoming a doctor and helping people inspired me to acquire a set of highly valuable skills. The most important one: reverse engineering. Doctors look at symptoms, find the root cause and give a diagnose. Then they develop a plan to improve the state of the patient, not only erase the symptoms.
I do the same with companies. To me, the idea of optimizing a system is highly intriguing (as dry as it sounds).
