I helped dozens of companies such as Volkswagen, Deutsche Bahn, Dell & Michelin with their digital transformation projects. As a founder, I founded onetool, the cloud management & provisioning platform for enterprises.
Over the years, I have ideated and implemented dozens of strategies to transform manual processes into automations and digital products / experiences. Clients included corporates, such as airbnb, Amazon, as well as startups.
Is your business working on an idea or project and wants to build it from start to finish? I have founded and scaled five startups before and know everything to be done; from MVP development, to product management to fast-paced execution.
If you want to build new ventures, you need people who have done it before. I founded 5 companies and have worked with the world's most innovative startups through my acceptance to the world's most prestigious accelerator: Y Combinator.
My big passion is to automate things and make businesses grow (= Growth). I do this by developing tactics that are normally not known to the general market and applying them.
I have managed countless projects and teams in agile settings. I use all best-practices for agile project management. My go-to project management tool is ClickUp.
“Gordian is a tremendous asset. Not only his great ideas in solving issues, but also his creative out-of-the-box thinking is one of a kind.”

You can find many good management consultants out there. However, it will be hard to find a Y Combinator Entrepreneur who has gathered so much hands-on-experience from all areas around business (management, strategy, operations, marketing, sales, project management, product management, IT & digitalization, finance) and who had to own the outcome of his multi-million dollar decisions. I am a repeat founder, which means I am curious and always seeking the next challenge. I embrace the new. In every part of my life, I have been at the forefront of innovation and the most up-to-date technologies. - I hold 4 degrees: MBA with focus in Project Management and Marketing, Master of Science in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, LL.B. in Business Law with focus on Capital Markets and a Professional Banking degree with focus on securities.
I normally accept offers from companies that have an aspiration to get to the forefront of their industry - no matter if large corporate or growing start-up.
I am based in Berlin, Germany and mostly work remotely across the European and US time zones. I have lived in the States for 4 years (Florida, Texas, California) and am very open to temporarily moving to another country for a project.
