Your ideas for our
“New Data Solutions"

What is your primary job?

As the division manager, I create the frameworks and conditions necessary to ensure we are successful in our work for and with our customers.

In your opinion, what makes the Consumer Products business unit unique?

Quite clearly - diversity. In our division, different technologies, methods, cultures, nationalities and forms of education come together to create “New Data Solutions”. We maintain a regular exchange of knowledge. Everyone is ready and willing to learn from one another and to grow.

When did you start coding and which programming languages did you use?

I taught myself to code at the age of twelve. In order to do so, I ordered a book from the USA without really knowing what was in it. My father was pretty mad since bank transfers were not as easy then as they are today. I proceeded to program my first game with a Z80 assembler. I still really enjoy coding in my downtime. Nowadays, I build applications in Swift with my son.

What is your primary job?

I am a senior consultant and have been with msg for more than three years. As part of my current project, I am working on the digitalization of the public sector to meet the requirements of the Berlin Online Access Act (OZG). In short: we are digitalizing application processes with interactive form wizards. We are using a specific software that works as a modular system. HTML and JavaScript statements come into play when customizing the individual wizards.

What do you really appreciate about your work?

I appreciate the foundation msg provides: an innovative environment with future-oriented topics and options for personal development. Within my project, I appreciate the freedom I am given to shape things and make decisions, the tangible results of my work, and the highly competent team of consultants that makes work a joy.

Which podcasts come to mind that you currently subscribe to?

I am such a fan of podcasts! Besides news podcasts, I like “Geschichten aus der Geschichte”, which roughly translates to “stories from history”, and the ZEIT-Verbrechen, a crime podcast, the best. However, I could recommend so many more: S-Town, Caliphate, WDR 3 Meisterstücke (musical masterpieces), The Guardian Long Read, etc.

What is your primary job?

Our department handles all things related to data and we ensure that companies have the right data at the right time and in the right format. At the moment, I am looking into the supply chain due diligence law and the question of how processes, data and tools can be used to satisfy legal requirements and improve compliance with human rights in supply chains.

What made you choose IT consulting?

While working on my doctorate at the university, I had the opportunity to work intensely on a variety of exciting topics – but only the theoretical side of course. After that, I wanted to gain as much hands-on experience as possible and see how things were in the “real world”. IT consulting was an obvious next step. I am convinced that the field of consulting is the perfect way to quickly acquire knowledge and skills and find out which topics and tasks interest you most.

Which YouTube channels come to mind that you currently subscribe to?

I love DIY videos and I often get inspiration and tips for my handyman projects from them. Although I tend to search by topic rather than by a specific person or channel.
