Jan Gackenholz has been the new Chief Financial and Operations Officer at MAGIX in Berlin since the middle of the month. Jan has gained extensive leadership experience in the software and e-commerce industry in his career to date and has worked at SoundCloud for the last six years, most recently as SVP Finance and Operations. Prior to that, he worked in e-commerce and also gained relevant experience as a management consultant and in investment banking.
"For me, the next exciting chapter of my professional career is now beginning and I am very much looking forward to my tasks as Chief Financial and Operations Officer at MAGIX. First, it is exciting to join MAGIX, a company that has not only been very successful in the past, but also has significant growth potential for the years to come. Secondly, I jumped at the chance to work with a great team of Chief Product Officers and the CEO. Klaus and I share the same vision and values for the company we want to build.
At MAGIX, I have the opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative apps and services for the creative minds of our time, while working with others who share my desire to create a flexible and fulfilling work environment. Evolving into an international SaaS and services company is an exciting challenge and I am looking forward to being part of the team to support this strategic transformation and growth.
So far, I have been particularly excited by the extensive skills of the MAGIX team. These are reflected in our first-class product offering - from VEGAS Pro to Video deluxe, Music Maker, SOUND FORGE as well as Sequoia, for which creativity, collaboration and productivity are at the core."
CEO Klaus Schmidt adds, "I am delighted to welcome Jan to our team. His extensive expertise, both in finance and operations will be very valuable in our transition to a product-centric offering and complements the existing skills of our CPOs, marketing, BtB, CRM leaders and their teams."
