It's an honor to be listed alongside Alexander Graf, Tobias Lütke, and Margrethe Vestager, among others, on INTERNET WORLD's Top 100 Ecommerce List. Despite the challenges that the industry has faced in recent times, being included in this prestigious list is a testament to the hard work of our teams at WIESEMANN 1893 and Enable 3D. It's also a great feeling to be recognized alongside industry icons and the amazing people I have met along the way.

I have been involved in ecommerce for over a decade, starting with my first experiences with INBUS Werkzeug GmbH. Over the years, the ecommerce industry has experienced steady and impressive growth rates. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent boom and downfall, times have become tough. The current ecommerce news revolves around cost-cutting rather than growth, profitability rather than new concepts, and lay-offs rather than exits.

Despite the challenges, the Top 100 Ecommerce List comes at a perfect time. We all need some good news and a reminder of how far we have come. It's a reminder that despite the challenges, there is still hope and growth to be had in the ecommerce industry.

While the future of the industry may seem uncertain, I believe that with some "Power Point voodoo," as I like to call it, the coming growth rates will look even better than they did before. We must continue to stay innovative and adapt to the changing times, all while remaining hopeful and committed to the industry's success.

In conclusion, being included in INTERNET WORLD's Top 100 Ecommerce List is a great honor and a reminder of the hard work that our teams have put in over the years. It's also a sign of hope for the future of the ecommerce industry. We must remain committed to innovation and adaptability as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of ecommerce.
