Bio
Eberhard Kornotzki
Carsten blends a detailed understanding of product capabilities with the ability to communicate about them in a way that both explains and inspires. That is largely driven by his deep understanding of the business and his personal leadership abilities. Carsten creates teams that perform. He knows how to engage with his subordinates, peers and bosses in a way that is productive, delivers results and is fun. He also knows how to resist management pressure when unrealistic demands are made and knows how to communicate his resistance in constructive ways. Carsten is also adept at looking for innovative (but informed) ways to approach totally new challenges, and his insights on how to do that instills much justified confidence in those looking for such thinking. Besides the above, Carsten is personally a joy to work with.
