Well-rehearsed. Crucial. brickfox.
Since the change in management and the strategic shift in 2023, our leadership team has grown step by step – today it has the ideal configuration that brickfox needs. Many of us have been working together for over ten years and share the same language, the same values, and the same commitment to quality.
The lines are clear: Dietmar, Sebastian, and André shaped shopware's management together for years; André, Hermann, and Dietmar worked at TimeToAct in Cologne; and we share a DNA connection with Martin in Stuttgart. A well-coordinated team that takes responsibility, makes quick decisions, and delivers.
We've learned a lot from these experiences – in product development, sales, professional services, and the partner ecosystem. Now we're moving forward together: with a clear focus on customer value, technological excellence, and AI as a lever. Our goal is clear: brickfox will become Europe's leading AI-driven marketplace backend.
