With the start of the new year 2018, a breath of fresh air is blowing at terrestris: In addition to Till Adams and Hinrich Paulsen, we will be expanding the management team with Torsten Brassat and Marc Jansen. With this restructuring, we are equipping ourselves for future challenges and want to ensure that we can continue to offer our customers the highest quality in the future. The reinforcement has the positive side effect of setting the course early on for a long-term continuation of the company and opens up scope for other professional activities for the two ‘old’ managing directors.
The company terrestris in Bonn is a central company in the German and international Open Source GIS community and offers technology, services and products with Open Source Software. From an owner-managed small business, it has become a service company with 16 employees in the last 15 years.
We have been growing in the double-digit percentage range for years. We owe this to our team, which offers our customers the highest quality and outstanding services. In order to further expand this course and adapt to the changing market, we have to constantly reposition ourselves.
We are pleased to introduce you to our two new managing directors. On the left in the picture is our new addition Torsten Brassat, 40 years young, married, 2 children. Torsten Brassat has been active in the GIS and CAFM environment for the last 15 years. In 2016, he supported the organization team of the FOSS4G in Bonn, where terrestris managing director Till Adams acted as chairman. At terrestris, Torsten Brassat will be mainly responsible for the areas of marketing, sales, projects, finance and human resources.
On the right of the picture is Marc Jansen, 37 years young, married, 2 children. Marc has been with terrestris almost since the beginning. Here, he was primarily active in technical areas such as application development, strategies, new technologies, open source basic development and, most recently, technical management. Marc has represented terrestris in many cases at major events; such as in the summer of 2017 at the FOSS4G in Boston, USA. As managing director, Marc Jansen will mainly devote himself to the areas of directed core and application development, quality assurance and its organization, general technological orientation and, in principle, the area of research and development.
Our managing directors Till Adams and Hinrich Paulsen are pleased about the new and active support and, together with Torsten Brassat and Marc Jansen, continue to look optimistically into the future of terrestris.
