Bernd has an understanding of how to execute on the Lean Startup process like few others. His experienced advice is essential to our progress. There is no doubt in my mind that any organisation would be lucky to have him involved!
Source: LinkedIn private private Nov 20, 2014Good God. Bernd kept me sane. As a first time start up CEO I was constantly overwhelmed, confused, emotionally stunted and trying desperately to keep it all together.
Bernd's council as an Adviser at Compass Engine was outstanding. He immediately recognized the deep seated respect between me and my business partner and helped nurture that into a capable team for running a business. Bernd has become a close friend, an inspiration and a go to source of trusted wisdom on all aspects of business.
