Viktor Weiss (mid-30s) originally comes from near Pforzheim. To be more precise - I am from Calw. He has been living in the Stuttgart and Freiburg area for some time now, where he works as a senior project manager.
In more than 6 years of professional experience, he gained extensive knowledge as a executive assistant for a globally operating medium-sized company as well as in the management of classic, hybrid and agile projects.
He holds various project management certifications (Product Owner, IPMA/GPM Level C & D, Superpowers for Project Managers by VSC) and teaches in his courses which techniques and methods work in a practical way.
Being an entrepreneur on the side brings him great joy. He founded a startup for a gluten-free spaetzle flour mix during COVID and has published several Android apps (my brother likes them ;-) ). These projects allow me to bring ideas to life, and now I’m also creating online courses to share my knowledge with others.
