Marcel or Otto as he is called by his nickname is a truly remarkable serial entrepreneur successfully founding and exiting 3 companies. He holds dual citizenship with France and Germany and has served in both military forces. 

Otto has had a remarkable career within the Defense space and knows the industry to an extent as only few do. This is a special episode and we are very thankful to Otto that he gave us the opportunity to visit him and talk about the use of advanced technologies within the Defense and military space. He successfully founded 2 companies in the Defense space where among his first company he worked on facial recognition biometrics getting into digital identity and identity security building up a B2G business having clients such as the US military forces. His company was one of the first to establish biometrics in national ID cards. His second start-up was one of the first to do A.I based cancer diagnostics! 

We talk drones, the Defense market and the similarities of transforming large corporates and governmental organisations. 

Tune in and listen to this amazing conversation with Otto!
