Bio
Christian Ax
Ralf Simon is one of the most inspiring and creative professionals I've met. As the Managing Director for the core brand BEEM at "The Social Chain", Ralf was integral in the success of our market expansion project. His enthusiasm for the project was unmatched; offering invaluable insights and strategies on how to approach different markets. Ralf's up-to-date knowledge of current trends and markets kept the project on track and ensured our objectives were met. Beyond his professional skills, Ralf is truly a unique person that left a lasting impression on everyone due to his positivity and enthusiasm. His ability to connect with people from all areas and backgrounds is incomparable, and I’m grateful for his time and mentorship. It was an honor to work with him and learn from him. I would highly recommend Ralf to any business looking for a creative and inspiring leader.

It was a pleasure to work with Ralf at Social Chain. Ralf provided a warm welcome to the organisation, openly sharing his significant market knowledge, and working incredibly hard to support myself and my team to launch BEEM coffee and tea machines into the UK. Ralf's openness, knowledge, and infectious enthusiasm about his products and brands, in addition to his love for building relationships and working partnerships, is the reason for his and our success. Ralf takes the time to learn about everyone, whether colleagues, customers, competitors, and the markets. It was also very much appreciated that Ralf was willing to work in English, one of his many languages. This allowing us to fully understand every aspect of the conversation.
