7 Questions with Jens Siebert, wevest
1. Please tell us a bit about yourself, both at work and leisure.
I was born and raised in Berlin and I am currently the CEO of wevest Digital AG. I have spent my entire career in the banking and financial services industry – first at a large consultancy firm and afterwards as project manager for the group of German cooperative banks. Privately, I enjoy going to the theatre and cycling. Once I made a trip cycling from Berlin to Barcelona in 30 days. That required good planning and endurance. The same holds true for starting your own business.
