Thomas Quandt

Thomas learned the meaning of managing scarce resources during his time as an organizational sciences student – usually around the middle of the month when, once again, there was more month left than money.

Today, Thomas is as head of customer success responsible for advising Meisterplan customers on lean PPM.
