Autorenporträt

I'm Christian M. Wegner After finishing my studies in electrical engineering, I started my professional activity as a service engineer for industrial computer systems. With the increasing trend towards service outsourcing in the beginning of this century, my area of activity changed into the field of industrial maintenance, where I was acting as project manager, head of business development, and product manager. During the last 10 years of active professional activity, I was privileged of heading one of the largest service organizations worldwide, and for certain the largest one in the field of logistic systems. We proudly served and continue to serve most of the large airports as well as the most important mail and parcel companies worldwide. We succeeded in establishing service as a business of significant size, equally important in our company as the systems and installations one. The continuous development of our service business was an important step in making our company a genuine life-cycle partner of our customers. This was the most rewarding time of my career.
