Senior🎓
Top SchoolYannic Schroeder is a strategic digital executive with nine years of cross-functional experience driving large-scale technology and business transformations across media, publishing, fintech, and commercial property. As Chief Digital Officer at VELUX Commercial and former Chief Transformation Officer at Bertelsmann, he builds and leads multidisciplinary teams to deliver ERP, CPQ, data, and cloud solutions that improve operational excellence and customer experience. He has a proven track record launching internal start-ups and new products—from an e‑learning platform and B2B e‑commerce financial services to white‑label fintech offerings—combining P&L ownership with hands‑on roadmap delivery. Yannic pairs financial and audit rigor with modern digital practices (Snowflake, Tableau, AR pilots, GenAI adoption), enabling data‑driven decisions and stronger cyber resilience. An INSEAD executive leadership alumnus with an MBA foundation, he’s known for translating complex stakeholder needs into pragmatic, scalable platforms while nurturing collaborative teams that accelerate adoption. One less obvious strength: he moves fluidly between investor‑grade business cases and day‑to‑day technical governance, making him equally effective in boardrooms and engineering standups.
