 Bio

My most exiting venture ever is the creation of XeeSM. I love to identify new business opportunities and inspire others to take advantage of it. Whether it was Computer 2000 back in the 80’s or Infinigate in the 90’s, BlueRoads after Year 2000 or recently Xeequa (the creator of XeeSM), I always had a lut of fun to deal with leading edge technology and help others to join those fascinating new eras.

As a book author of “Channel Excellence”, chairing the SaaS Channel Committee of the SIIA (Software and Information Industry Association) and a frequent speaker at industry events I share my little experience openly with others. In 2008 I won the SF Entrepreneur award. In January 2009 I founded the Social Media Academy to help accelerate education and research in the professional social media space.

My mantras:
“Seek an activity you wholeheartedly love and you will never work a day in your life”
“Speed is more important than perfection”
“You will never get a reward for taking - but easily for giving”

I once traced my family history back to 1609. It was an interesting ride through history. The most interesting discovery was that entrepreneurship seems to be in my DNA. My grandfather founded an aluminum manufacturing plant after he founded a leather production company. My great grandfather owned a coffee production company and his father had a wood furniture manufactory. His father did something else, he owned a hotel - or what ever it was called in 1700. Going farther back was difficult enough to get names and birth dates, I found the names of the 10 or 12 children but not exactly the job they worked at other than it must have been the mayor from Hannover (German). The name Schultze = Mayor and the horse in our family shield is actually the horse of Hannover.
