Hi, I'm Viktor

Thank you for taking the time! I'd like to kindly ask you to review my profile and decide if somebody with my experience and skillset would be an interesting candidate for your organization (or another company you know reasonably well).If the answer is yes - would you confirm this by signing a short statement?Why I'm asking: I want to move to the US where my partner and our two children already live. Very soon an immigration officer will decide about my case based on a big bunch of different factors.Employability is an important one. If you could confirm that I'm likely to find a job in the US, that would be extremely helpful for my case and much appreciated.To be clear: I'm not asking for a job offer and by signing the statement you do not commit to anything. You're simply telling the government "Yeah, I think this guy will be able to find a job in E-commerce."

Passionate DTC Allrounder

As a solo DTC founder I have been responsible for all aspects of starting a business and selling stuff online. This includes product development, supply chain and inventory management, hiring, web design, online marketing, brand building, logistics, sales calls, customer support, as well as sleepless nights, Shiny object syndrom, and solving all kinds of problems I didn't see coming. I'm not a specialist in any domain. But I do have a solid understanding of all key areas of E-commerce.

Expansion into European markets

I was born and raised in Germany. Besides German and English, I also speak Spanish and French. I've lived, studied and travelled all over Europe. My language skills, sensitivity and knowledge of the EU trading block (and the German market in particular) can be helpful for any brand or agency looking for growth opportunities outside the US.

Automation & Ai-native workflows

Not a big fan of clichés. But if there's one stereotypical German trait I absolutely have, it's a deep passion for structure, system and process. For Movement Wisdom (the online yoga school that I co-founded) I've been running operations for six years now. Our business is deeply integrated with Claude Cowork and a tech stack of 20+ tools. Out of all the different kinds of work, building process is my favorite; and I think it's also when I do my best work.

Urbanism for Ecom
brands

As a trained urbanist, I can help brands "land" in cities. While this may be completely irrelevant for some industries, it is key for apparel, mobility, foods & beverages and any other lifestyle-related product category. I can help brands identify and leverage opportunities to engage with life in the city and the built environment in creative ways.

To date, we've guided more than 800 students through our yoga teacher training program. At Movement Wisdom I am responsible for day-to-day operations, finance, marketing, customer support and content production.

I was selected as 1 of 30 students from over 1,000 applicants.
