“An Out-of-the-box Thinker”

Rene Wachter, COO of GoldenRace, has always been considered a great leader. The reasons are simple yet pioneering: he empowers people, giving them freedom and making them responsible, offering them the necessary advice to help them achieve their goals, so the company succeeds. “Since I’m in this role, we have changed the way we are working totally, especially in how teams are working internally and with each other. Internal communications and transparency have improved a lot and these are some of the main keys to be successful,” says Rene. “Only if any single employee understands his or her importance for the company will they stay focussed and will always do their best for the sake of the company, cause the company is always on top!”

Advising the budding entrepreneurs, Rene says, listening to different people, being optimistic, treating every employee as a good friend, and always expecting the most from them makes a successful leader. “Don’t follow, find your own way, and one of the best ways is the agile methodology and empowering people.”

"All of that ends up in a situation where the competition is always in a rush to provide similar solutions, meaning we are already and again at least one step in front."

By thinking outside the box, Rene has been able to take the company to new heights. “You need to be different from the others, going different ways. We don’t follow, we want to be followed. Besides the newest technologies, we are adjusting our workflow continuously,” he says. “All of that ends up in a situation where the competition is always in a rush to provide similar solutions, meaning we are already and again at least one step in front.”
