Bio
Pascal Giessler
Rainer inspires with project ideas and technological approaches. I still remember my first interview with Rainer very well. With his incredible motivation and enthusiasm, he told me about his current project plans at Wolford. The planned, comprehensive omnichannel digitization initiative was one of the most exciting projects in its context and scope, which I was able to participate in thanks to Rainer. In his role as ambassador for the MACH principles (microservices, API-first, cloud-native, headless), the technological conception was super exciting and a new challenge. I was already familiar with best-of-breed approaches. However, Rainer set the standard here in looking at things holistically, both in terms of functional and technical requirements. Thank you for the steady learning curve and the motivation to always give more than 100%, even in day-to-day business.
