Today the main business processes of the bank are digitized and largely automated. In particular, the efficient and agile processes at Varengold distinguish the institute from many other financial service providers and make it a strong partner for fintechs, especially in the Marketplace Banking sector. Dr. Fuhrmann: "Kai Friedrichs also took a leading role in the development and implementation of our New Work concept over the past two years. As a central manager, he is an essential key developer of our corporate culture." In 2011, the trained mechanical engineer for automation and system technology switched to the trading monitoring in the Capital Markets Brokerage division at Varengold Bank after two previous engagements at major banks.
