Petra J.

Dominik is one of the best self-directed innovators and project managers I have worked with. He has excellent communication skills, coupled with the ability to empathise with others and tactfully address conflicts. His in-depth project and innovation management skills, strategic insights and excellent stakeholder management in a market as complex as the fair trade universe make him an excellent professional, able to achieve any goal with dedication, passion and positivity - he built a youth advisory board from scratch within a few months, from conception to recruitment and management. I would love to work with Dominik again and would highly recommend him to any team. I am sure he is and will always be a great asset when it comes to rethinking one's organisation and being a humble person to those around him.

Ich habe das Vergnügen, mit Dominik bei Fairtrade Max Havelaar zusammenzuarbeiten. Er konnte uns dazu bringen, über den Tellerrand hinauszuschauen, um innovative Ideen zu entwickeln. Dominiks gut strukturierte Arbeitsweise wird von allen sehr geschätzt. Er hat es geschafft, uns für Innovationen zu motivieren, auch wenn dies zusätzlich zu unseren normalen Aufgaben geschah. Es hat mir sehr viel Spass gemacht, mit ihm zu arbeiten. Mit seiner Leidenschaft und seinem starken Enthusiasmus für Innovationen konnten wir viele neue Ideen entwickeln und sie in eine Liste mit höchster Priorität einordnen, von denen einige nun echte Projekte sind.

      // Co-Founder of soul-stays.com: Soul Stays was an intelligent solution to facilitate sustainable needs between travellers and hosts. This platform allowed travellers a profound experience of One on One Retreats & Home stays true to the motto "STAY ' EXPLORE ' EXPAND". The same time Soul Stays was a solution for hosts to offer accommodation with tailored skill sharing with the mission to monetarize their individual fulfilment. // We started Soul Stays before the pandemic and, in spite of that, were able to validate the concept through a pilot. However, the ongoing travel restrictions during early 2020 made it not possible to scale.
