For those who love steep learning curves, fear boredom more than challenges, and long for something worth striving for… you’ve just found your team!
In our #freedomtogrow series, we share stories from our team members about their personal and professional growth.
Today Markus, Chief Technology Officer, tells us about his #freedomtogrow story at Westwing:
Markus, why do you love working for Westwing after all these years?
There are two main reasons. First, the people and the culture. I have the privilege of working with incredibly smart, passionate, and kind individuals every day. Westwing’s culture values collaboration, ownership, and humility – all of which closely align with my personal values. Second, it’s the purpose-driven impact. We’re not just building a product; we’re shaping experiences that inspire and delight our customers. That shared sense of purpose keeps me motivated and makes the work truly meaningful.
And how has Westwing helped and encouraged your career growth?
Westwing has truly accelerated my personal and professional growth. I started as Director of Engineering, soon advanced to VP, and earlier this year became CTO – leading one of the most significant tech transformations in our company’s history. What makes it exceptional is the constant opportunity to push beyond your comfort zone. It’s inspiring to grow with the company by embracing new challenges, amplifying my impact, and seeing constant progress in myself and my team. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, feel inspired, and work with amazing people, Westwing is it.
Thank you, Markus, for sharing your personal growth story with us today!
