At Echometer

What do you like/love about working at Echometer?

Christian: There are many things! The biggest one: our tool — if used properly — actually changes team behavior in a positive way. Maybe, hopefully, some people become a little more satisfied with their work experience because of Echometer. I love that thought (and I’m still working on making it real).

What is your favorite part in retrospectives?

Christian: The end of a retrospective, when you realize: “Oh my gosh, that is a brilliant and totally necessary action item. We probably never would have done it without the retrospective.”

What is your personal highlight that you achieved or experienced while working at Echometer?

Christian: I’m proud that we were named the second fastest-growing company in Germany by Glassdollar. And of course, I’m proud of the investment round we will close in January 2021 — excited for the next year!

What was your first “success” when starting at Echometer?

Christian: Closing our first pilot customers and discovering the amazing agile community.

What is an interesting thing you learned at Echometer?

Christian: I learned one simple truth: The sooner you start living your dream, the earlier you will live your dream. I can recommend that. 😉
