Dr. Friedrich Schwandt; CEO Statista Q&A: Online Middle Class in Germany

In the recently published book by Thomas Promny ‘Online Middle Class in Germany – Interviews with Successful Founders of the Internet Industry’ the CEO and Managing Director of Statista GmbH, Dr. Friedrich Schwandt, was interviewed.

In the last 20 years, the internet industry has become more and more commercialized and employs almost half a million people in Germany. Reason enough for the author, Thomas Promny, to take a closer look at this particular industry. In his book, he portrays 20 successful founders who shaped and characterized this industry.

In a very short time Statista has successfully established its platform, generating monthly traffic of more than 3 million unique visitors and over 500,000 registered customers. Therefore, Dr. Friedrich Schwandt had to be included in this book.

In 23 pages, Dr. Schwandt shares his story of success, describing the challenges that he and his company faced. Readers will learn how Statista managed to conquer the American market and how the company was and continues to be successful while at the same time fostering a casual work environment within its sales department. If you would like to read more stories of courage, trial and error and dedicated employees, you can purchase the book under ISBN 9781511947602.
