Re:ceeve
A truly digital debt-servicing platform (“DSP”) driving the future of financial services.
One obvious way improving a bank´s EBT without creating the need of additional equity is decreasing the rate of NPLs. But, how to achieve that? Today´s world of Data and AI allow new approaches which do not only improve a bank´s EBT but also the customer experience. Re:ceeve is offering such a solution which is why mk supports that company as a business angel and senior advisor.
Lead1ng AG
Helping Leaders & Entrepreneurs to achieve their ambitious goals
More than anything else, Fintech is a Culture-Game, not a Tec-Game, which is why mk is sharing his leadership experience as a member of the supervisory board.
On top, HR-Management has to understand that the digital and mobile lifestyle also is changing the behaviour of a companies team. Tools of HR management must reflect that development.

The team around mk was an incubating founder in 2006. It was the objective to „close the loop“:
