Christoph began his career at the age of 18, just after graduating from high school. Dropping out of the University of Augsburg, he and his friends established Mawave, a social-first agency. Under Christoph’s guidance, the firm expanded to be one of Europe’s largest, with over 110 full-time workers and an annual recurring revenue of more than $10 million.
Christoph’s journey wasn’t just about following a path—it was about exploring what was truly possible. From a young age, he was captivated by technology and the mechanics behind it. Growing up in Ulm, Germany, he immersed himself in understanding the inner workings of machines, planes, and systems.
In the early days, he was drawn to the emerging potential of social media as a tool for business growth. He and a small team transformed their vision into a high-performing agency, Mawave, where they became pioneers in using social-first strategies to help companies scale. Through a combination of technical expertise and business strategy, Christoph played a pivotal role in turning Mawave into one of Europe’s leading agencies. Under his guidance, the company grew to over 110 full-time employees and handled more than $250 million in yearly media expenditures.
Christoph didn’t just contribute to Mawave’s growth—he engineered systems and strategies that allowed the company to thrive in a highly competitive space. It was his knack for building scalable, efficient operations that made Mawave the go-to agency for businesses ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Mawave has collaborated with all major social media platforms, and some partnerships require him to visit their headquarters for close-up meetings.
Mawave’s rapid growth wasn’t just a personal achievement for Christoph; it was a testament to the power of collaboration and a shared vision. Recognition followed, with the company being named one of the fastest-growing in Europe by Statista and earning a top spot as one of Bavaria’s best employers.
But as always, Christoph’s mind was already onto the next challenge. His deep-rooted curiosity about what was possible, coupled with his desire to solve complex problems, led him to shift gears once again.
This time, his focus turned toward using data and technology to transform how we interact with software in the future. With his sights set on the next frontier, Christoph wasn’t just looking to lead another company—he wanted to create something that would leave a lasting impact, using technology to drive real, measurable outcomes for businesses everywhere.
