Q&A with Christian

What is your job/position and what are your day-to-day tasks?

As Head of Product Management at Loy & Hutz, I am responsible for the strategic planning and continuous development of our waveware® platform. My passion project is the waveware® UX client. In my role as the central link between management, requirements management, and software development, I ensure that our solutions are both technically and strategically groundbreaking.

Which tools do you mainly use for your work?

In addition to strategic planning and team management, my daily work involves analyzing complex requirements, technical conception, and UI design. Tools such as the prototyping software UXPin, the development environment Visual Studio Code, and the flowchart software draw.io are essential for this. MS Office 365 and, of course, our own system waveware® QPRO are also indispensable for organizing product development and structuring our roadmap.

What challenges drive you the most?

I am motivated by shaping the long-term vision for our software and elevating the user experience for our users to a high level. The biggest challenge—and at the same time my strongest motivation—is to map highly complex processes as simply and modernly as possible. Software should not only fulfill its purpose, but also inspire enthusiasm in everyday use. This can only be achieved through strong teamwork: I find it enormously motivating to combine our individual strengths in such a way that we can continually set new standards together and ensure the long-term success of Loy & Hutz.

Where can you best contribute your strengths?

Thanks to my many years of experience at the company—from working as a student trainee to my position as a software designer to heading up product management—I know our software, our company, and our customers’ needs very well. This deep-rooted knowledge enables me to critically examine existing processes, rethink them strategically, and lead my team in a goal-oriented manner.

What do you like most about your job?

I particularly appreciate the creative freedom: not only can I contribute my own concepts, but I can also actively influence the overall strategic direction of waveware®. Close collaboration with my team and exchanges with experienced colleagues are key to developing innovative ideas into real solutions.

What are you most passionate about outside of work?

I enjoy the great quality of life in Freiburg, whether it’s relaxing with friends on the Dreisam river, in the Seepark, or in one of the many cafés. I find the ideal balance on the tennis court—there I can really burn off energy and clear my head. I also love to travel: discovering distant countries and cultures is great fun and always inspires me with new ideas.
