Rainer Brockmann, project
director at Wincor Nixdorf.

Wincor Nixdorf‘s Rainer Brockmann, leader of the Total project, has relocated from his office on the Elbe River to the Seine River in Paris. Initially, four weeks were planned for his stay in Paris, but in the end they numbered 18. It was a time of great learning for the 47-year-old Brockmann, including the fact that much business in the country is done late at night over a meal. Today, Brockmann is managing the project from Hamburg but remains close to customers. “Even here today, I can call staff in the evening and manage things under four eyes,“ he says.
