Deputy Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board
Moritz ViehwegerFounder, Investor & Advisor in Media Tech & SaaS and Managing Director Celeritas Invest GmbH “New forms of “work” are taking on central importance, especially in the digital and creative industries. The supposed gap between employers and employees is becoming increasingly shallow in the reality of my life. We need to rethink the participation of people in and at companies. We are often still a long way from agile structures and processes here. I try to take politics along on this journey.” Interview
