Driving the progress and business of Bosch Digital

When asked how he would describe his daily work in few words, Martin immediately responds: “Leading our business, others, and myself.” As Head of Development, he is responsible for driving the progress of Bosch Digital by identifying room for improvement, removing impediments, and securing a consequent implementation of the teams’ plans. “I need to secure collaboration in all directions because this is what unifies us in a company,” he emphasizes.

A large part of this job consists in aligning the diverse ideas and interests of his equally diverse team. Martin’s daily routine therefore revolves around engaging in (online) meetings with colleagues from all over the world. Bringing all their individual thoughts together and uniting them into a common, productive understanding of the tasks is what Martin refers to as the “challenge of politics”. A challenge he’s happy to take on: after all, he firmly believes that “diversity is the source of creativity and results in the best decisions for our company.”
