Christian has been working as a Consultant at GLOBAL SIDE since 2022, supporting our customers in continuously improving their processes for the automated processing of submitted documents and claims.
Every day, he works at the intersection of business expertise, technology, and our customers. Together, existing processes are analyzed, areas for improvement are identified, and solutions are developed and subsequently implemented in practice. His work ranges from business-related questions concerning claims processing to technical topics such as configurations, interfaces, databases, and system integrations.
An important part of his role is the close and direct collaboration with our customers. At GLOBAL SIDE, consulting is not simply about implementing software or translating requirements into technical solutions. It is about truly understanding the customer’s processes and challenges, recognizing interdependencies, and jointly developing solutions that create real value in their day-to-day work.
During his time at GLOBAL SIDE, Christian has been able to develop significantly both professionally and technically. He gained much of his expertise directly through customer projects and then deepened his knowledge independently. Throughout this journey, he has always had the opportunity to take on responsibility, explore his own approaches to solving problems, and familiarize himself with new topics.
This variety is exactly what makes the role so interesting for him:
"No two projects are exactly the same, new challenges are part of the job, and you can immediately see the results of your own work. Anyone who enjoys working independently, wants to understand both technical and business-related contexts, and at the same time values direct interaction with customers will find plenty of opportunities to contribute, grow, and develop in Consulting at GLOBAL SIDE."
Christian has been working as a Product Manager at GLOBAL SIDE since June 2025 and also serves as Product Owner, driving the further development of ZABAS® MAX. Together with the team, he translates business requirements into clear priorities and ensures that good ideas turn into products that deliver real added value for our customers. Before joining GLOBAL SIDE, Christian worked as Vice President Product at Betriebsarztservice Holding and as Senior Product Owner at Signavio, now part of SAP.
With a degree in Business Information Systems, Christian feels particularly at home where business and development come together. He approaches complex topics pragmatically, breaking them down into manageable steps – true to the principle of being a “Nicer Dicer.” In doing so, he keeps not only strategy, processes and goals in mind, but also the individual strengths of each team member. What motivates him most is seeing ideas developed together become reality and receiving user feedback that confirms a product is genuinely making a difference.
Another of Christian’s passions is producing electronic music that is played in clubs and at festivals around the world. He is also enthusiastic about video games and animated series and has previously worked with brands such as South Park and SpongeBob. Above all, he enjoys spending time with his family. If he could choose a superpower, it would be teleportation – allowing him to instantly discover new places.
When working with others, Christian places particular importance on empathy, commitment, reliability and pragmatism. His motto sums up his attitude perfectly: “Be kind to one another and always try to understand the other person’s perspective.”
Christin is a consultant at GLOBAL SIDE and brings a unique combination of healthcare and IT project management experience to the role. She spent five years working in the prevention department at Würzburg University Hospital, where she collaborated with health insurance providers to develop programmes that were designed, tested and refined. She then spent over two years working in public procurement project management at an IT company.
At GLOBAL SIDE, she is responsible for challenging client projects and ensures structure, clarity and reliability during complex implementation phases. Her strengths lie in time management, clear organisation and the ability to act in a solution-oriented manner, even under pressure. She stands for transparency, honesty and collaboration on an equal footing.
Outside of her day-to-day project work, she finds balance through sport – tennis reliably acts as a mood booster. Her life motto, “No Risk, No Fun”, reflects her hands-on mentality: she prefers to try things out, optimise them and forge ahead, rather than hesitate for too long.
