Because of the high amount of literature and research describing and commenting the success story of the Valley and the restricted length of this essay, the author wants to concentrate on the key success factors of the computing industry, especially with a focus of regional clustering advantage, regional cultural advantage and modular production networks.
Autorenporträt
I am the Chief Operating Officer and founder of MindMate (Techstars'16), which is the #1 Health App in 17 countries with its platform for people affected by Cognitive Decline. I am responsible for business and product strategy and overseeing and optimizing the platform's data collection and monetization capabilities. I'm a strong believer that "doing good" and "making money" should not be mutually exclusive. In fact, I see it as the Pareto optimality. Prior to founding MindMate, my experiences include serving as a program manager at Vienna University of Economics and Business and holding a key role responsible for high impact projects at Mercedes-Benz. I hold an MSc. with distinction in Finance from the University of Glasgow, and a BSc. in Business & Economics from the Vienna University of Economics and Business, where I finished in the Top 0.5% of my class. I was recently named Young Alumnus of the Year 2017 by The University of Glasgow, which aims to recognize and celebrate the achievements of alumni who have graduated within the last 15 years and made a major contribution to the community, arts, sciences or business. On my spare time, I cannot get myself to stop playing football and reading up on political literature and biographies, amongst other things.
