speed with which decisions are made and implemented here. The strategic mindset
of the management team, along with the passion and drive of the company, fit
perfectly with my personal working style. I am extremely excited to work with my
colleagues from Marketing and Supply Chain Management to further develop
AUTODOC's full potential."
