What motivates you and what are you passionate about?

Basically, everything needed for successful entrepreneurship: developing visions and strategies, and working together with a strong team to implement these to achieve tangible success. Business success hinges on the perfect interplay of various factors. One of my guiding principles is “Do the right things, and do the things right!” Sometimes, perseverance and composure are just as valuable as quick decision-making and decisive action. Always essential, however, is the passion to create and shape – and employees and customer relationships play a central role here. Employee and customer satisfaction are essential, but truly inspiring them…? That is the ultimate feat and what I’ve always gone for.

What do you think sets valantic apart from other companies and what makes valantic special for you?

valantic’s steadfast commitment to its employees and customers; its culture of mutual learning, underpinned by a genuine and authentic commitment to service excellence; and that everyone has the opportunity to make their mark and grow, thus contributing personally to enhancing our collective success. “Our employees are our greatest asset” is not just an empty slogan in a corporate presentation, but is exemplified through countless initiatives that place our staff and customers squarely at the top of the agenda. Ultimately, everyone also has immense joy and satisfaction in working together, paving the way for inevitable success!

What are your responsibilities at valantic and what is the main focus of your work?

valantic’s Telco Solutions & Services Competence Center, where I am Managing Director, plays a significant role in ensuring general security in Germany. As an external service provider for telecommunications companies, we make relevant information available to state investigative authorities upon request. The framework for this is the German Telecommunications Act which is binding for German telecommunications companies. Secure interfaces link us to our customers’ networks and those of the national investigative bodies, providing the authorities with the necessary data around the clock, especially for prosecuting serious crimes. This enables our customers to concentrate on their core business, while valantic ensures full compliance with all statutory requirements.

Roland, what did you do before coming to valantic?

I had the privilege of being part of valantic’s development from the start, thereby contributing to its success story. Before this, I held various business responsibilities and management positions at Siemens AG, Deutsche Telekom AG, and a service company of Deutsche Bank. As an executive partner in an M&A consultancy, I gained my first experience as an entrepreneur before deliberately deciding to join valantic and embrace the “valantic way.” The founder’s visionary power and entrepreneurial spirit combined with valantic’s core values also contributed significantly to my decision to become and remain part of the valantic family.
