Pioneering the Digital Twin & Industrial IoT

Industry: Industrial IoT

Period covered: 2015 - 2018

Organization:  Agilion GmbH

From 2015 to 2018, I was working with Agilion GmbH (Chemnitz, Germany). Agilion developed, produced and rolled out entire RTLS solutions and systems, including hardware, firmware, and software. As such, Agilion was a real pioneer and global technology leader in what become later known as Industry 4.0 and Industrial AI.


My tasks included:


  • Refocusing the business development strategy, including risk, organizational, HR implications, and internationalization implications (the company grew from 35 to over 70 FTEs - most of them engineers - in between 2017 and 2018);
  • Establishing investment readiness and leading M&A process including due diligence (completed with a DAX-40 exit).


The company was acquired by SIEMENS AG in 2018. For a full case study on Agilion, please use the following link:
