Bio
Dirk Didascalou
Achim led the execution of Nokia's X2 SW platform. He managed to pull all the different disciplines together with teams spread over 3 continents and multiple time-zones. Under his leadership, the team over-performed and delivered a great and better experience that expected in-time and with outstanding software quality.
Craig Hunter
Achim is an extremely accomplished program manager. Achim was accountable the the delivery of the both Platform versions of Nokia X, and during the 12 months we worked together I couldn't have been more impressed. His ability to create focus is exceptional and he puts in place an environment where his staff, and those around him are encouraged to go that extra mile. Our communication was open, colloborative and also respectful of each others domains, challenges and deliverables. Working with Achim was a pleasure and I honestly believe without Achim leading the program it would not have been as successful as it ultimately was.
