CEO Diary #NN: From Self-Employed to Entrepreneur – and Eventually to Investor
1-minute summary
Christoph Standl talks in this episode about his journey from being self-employed to becoming an entrepreneur and eventually an investor. He explains that he founded Tourismus Interaktiv twelve years ago and was long involved in almost every operational area. Today, he wants to build structures and delegate responsibility so the company can function without his daily involvement. He relies heavily on artificial intelligence, aiming to shape a truly AI-native company where people and AI agents work together. He notes that together with authorized signatory Nadine he is among the largest shareholders, and that Tourismus Interaktiv is his most important investment. Long term, the company itself aims to become an investor, taking atypical silent stakes in small businesses to help them become more efficient through AI knowledge. For him, rethinking entrepreneurship means using knowledge and technology to let as many people as possible share in success.
Description
How does your own role change when you no longer just want to work in a company, but want to build a company that functions in the long term even without your own daily involvement?
In this episode of my CEO diary, I talk about my personal journey with Tourismus Interaktiv and how we are realigning our company with the help of artificial intelligence and powerful AI agents.
It's about entrepreneurial responsibility, A-players, the collaboration with our authorized officer Nadine, and the question of why a small, dedicated team can achieve more today than ever before.
I also share my long-term vision: Tourismus Interaktiv should not only grow with its own digital products and agent services, but one day also support other companies with knowledge, experience, and AI systems, and share in their success.
An episode about entrepreneurship, the perspective as a shareholder and investor, and my conviction that sustainable success begins where real value is created – for customers, companies, and ultimately for our shareholders as well.
Rethinking entrepreneurship. Taking responsibility. Creating value together.
