Sebastian Kleinau

Dirk worked as Corporate Development Manager at Talixo and over the course of almost 1.5 years he managed to set a mark at our sales organization. Always thinking out of the box and pushing for smart ways to grow the business and find new opportunities, Dirk was a great asset for his team and for the company.

Jorge D.

Dirk is a professional, loyal dedicated individual who would excel at any position of his choosing. During the years we have worked together he always applied himself one hundred per cent and showed self-initiative as well as an appetite for learning and development.

Michael Gray

In my experience with working with Dirk Pohlers, between 2009 and 2014, at Hyatt Regency London-The Churchill, I always found him to be an excellent work colleague, always displaying high levels of responsibility, integrity and trustworthiness. I am happy to recommend Dirk as a member of any team he joins in the future and wish him all success in his roles in our Industry.

      Flow is the 'Noticeboard' that every college needs. At Flow, we curate the best resources and opportunities in emerging tech and design, thereby building highly engaged communities around designers, developers, and entrepreneurs. It’s extremely difficult for students coming from tier 2 colleges and cities to access: i) Curated resources for skill development ii) Quality Global career opportunities, iii) A supportive peer group. β€œFlow has been the missing news source. I believe that access to opportunities is the biggest service to people who are willing to put in the required work, but more often than not we seldom have the information or community to support. Flow bridges this gap.” - Saurabh, one of the Flow'er. Flow stands for the values, that the current scenario around education and knowledge sharing has failed to propagate. - The values of Collaboration over competition, - Sharing and growing with others, - Inter-Disciplinary exchange of thoughts, ideas, free-will, leading to the holistic development of perspectives of individuals and communities, and collective consciousness. We are a community of misfits, outliers, a highly motivated and ambitious bunch of β€˜Drop-outs’ who are never-settling until we reach the highest summits of our ambitions, for ourselves and the society as a whole. And we will uphold sheer tenacious until our vision of inclusive education and access to opportunities for all, in the remotest part of the world is achieved. Show less
