Bio
Dr. Franz MJ Pfister, MD, MBA
I am lucky enough to have been introduced to Zeno some time ago and had the privilege to work with him for quite a while, last during his internship at deepc as one of his direct supervisors. Zeno brings an incredible profile and outstanding talent to the table, entrepreneurial drive and team spirit, knowledge, and experience (yes!) - far beyond anyone with the same YOB and level of education. His approach to problem-solving is highly structured and analytical. He embraces tasks in a way that you can expect high-quality outcomes at any time, but he even takes it far beyond in a highly autonomous and responsible way, and develops his own ideas and defendable opinions, always taking the extra mile. He understands and exerts a professional communication style reflecting already professional management skills. In addition, he is hungry for feedback to substantiate his already high level of self-reflection and foster constant learning and self-improvement. Zeno’s contributions helped develop highly relevant parts and areas of our company and I will always be happy to work with him again in the future - without a second of hesitation.

Zeno is a very talented individual, who is learning quickly, is passionate and motivated, and thereby embodies a great asset to every team. For his young age, Zeno is incredibly far in his development, easily integrating into a team of older individuals. During his time at Luminovo, he showed critical questioning and creative problem solving and always went the extra mile for the team. We wish Zeno all the very best for his future endeavors.
