Mein Name ist Marcus Izmir und ich bin meist der Zeit voraus. Denn mein ungezwungener Entdeckergeist für Technologien macht den Unterschied. Schon immer verfolge ich die Entwicklung von Innovationen und bin getrieben von dem Gedanken mit ihnen Potentiale für unsere Unternehmen und unser Leben zu schaffen. Mit meiner Erfahrung setzte ich all das Wissen in den richtigen Kontext. Denn ich habe Firmen aufgebaut, Organisationen geleitet und viele Entscheidungen getroffen. Das alles erlaubt mir Vorteile für Menschen und Unternehmen zu erkennen und eine Orientierung zu geben, wohin die Zukunft führen könnte.

My name is Marcus Izmir and I’m usually ahead of the curve. For my easy zest for technological discovery is the thing that makes the difference. I have always followed innovation-related development, and I’m driven by the idea of using it to create the potential for our companies and our lives. With my experience, I have applied all my knowledge in the right context – after all, I have built companies, led organizations, and made many decisions. All these things have enabled me to identify benefits for people and for businesses and to provide orientation as to where the future might lead.
