Meet the Team

Mark Böhmer

Managing Director

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” – Vince Lombardi

Introduction

As an engineer and a businessman I enjoy creating solutions that empower people through technology.

My passion for success is only secondary to the people that I work with. In my experience a happy and motivated workforce can overcome most obstacles and perform beyond their capabilities.

Insight

My keen interest in current and global technology  trends equips me to develop systems and strategies  that not only face local challenges, but also incorporates global influences.

I have a diverse background across all aspects in both business and technology, from business development, manufacturing, supply chain management, technical marketing and information technology management, to Internet of Things (IoT), systems and data architecture, mobile application development and cloud platforms.

This experiential diversity allows me to quickly assess the problem scope and identify short to medium term solutions as well as long-term strategy.
