Here Comes the New Sheriff in Town: Fynn Kliemann Announces the Need for a COO at Kliemannsland
A quick reflection and a few years down the line, Fynn Kliemann realizes where he can make a difference and where he might stir up a storm. In a recent LinkedIn post, he hinted that Kliemannsland needs a COO to help steer the ship and keep the creative chaos in check.
Fynn, the man of many hats, has been back at the helm of Kliemannsland since April 2023, following a tempestuous hiatus. The mask scandal with his former partner, Tom Illbruck, left a bitter taste, but after a stint in the wilderness, Fynn is back with a vengeance.
Fynn made a guest appearance on the "Hotel Matze" podcast, discussing his guilt, the art of communication, and his music album, "I hope you miss me." The album was followed by an ARD documentary, an art exhibition, and the revival of the Kliemannsland YouTube channel. The latest video on the channel offers a glimpse into the inner workings of Kliemannsland and the areas that require improvement.
In a candid interview with Gründerszene, Fynn discusses his plans for Kliemannsland, the qualifications he seeks in a COO, the questions he poses to potential candidates, and the lessons he's learned as an entrepreneur over the past three years.
So Fynn, it's been three years since the mask scandal. Have you truly made amends?
Yes, I've apologized for my missteps, but now, it's time to demonstrate a change.
Your goal is to propel Kliemannsland to new heights. What's the game plan?
