German CEO Excellence Awards 2022

14 EU BUSINESS NEWS / German CEO Excellence Awards 2022 , Feb22092 qoomapplications is a regtech company originally founded for the medical, outpatient and inpatient care market. It supports the organisations within this market by fulfilling their legal obligations, such as documentation of qualitymanagement, occupational health, hygiene and data protection. In light of DrWalter Gmelin’s success in the German CEO Excellence Awards 2022, we take a closer look at the company and his career. qoom applications’ tool enables business owners to meet the basic regulatory requirements, focusing on small- and mediumsized businesses that need a simple and comprehensive solution. The tool is designed for the company and its people, not just for the documentation, and it is deeply integrated into the daily workflows of its customers. This allows customers to connect their relevant documents with the workplaces and topics of their organisation. Founder and CEO, Dr Walter Gmelin first began setting up his own small businesses when he was a student, offering small businesses support in the digitisation of their workflows. He commented, “To overcome these issues, you need to understand the real pain points of the daily work.” Once he had graduated with a PhD in biochemistry, Dr Walter began his business career in the marketing department of a large American biotech company. Not long after that, he got asked to train his colleagues in various continuous process improvements, a major building block of quality management. Dr Walter said, “Although I went through several senior positions at various companies, where I learned to manage teams and drive business successfully, these two steps in my professional career had the biggest impact on my role as a future CEO.” And he hasn’t stopped learning; Dr Walter has continued growing within his role of CEO, learning how to be patient and open to unforeseen situations. He has also welcomed the opportunity to get to know his colleagues and partners who share the company vision, building real relationships of mutual trust. Speaking about his leadership style, Dr Walter said, “I motivate our employees and partners to offer constructive criticism, because I often miss certain aspects myself. This creates open and mutual trust in the team and helps us to develop better products for our customers in the long-term.” A key factor that Dr Walter has observed within the industry during his career, particularly more recently, is a big push for digitalisation. He said, “We have all realised that access to important information should be independent of our current location, whether we are in the office, on the road, or in the home office.” At the same time, new regulations are introduced every year, and as a business owner, it is necessary to focus on the business whilst remaining compliant. qoom applications strives to provide customers with the tools that bring real value to their businesses, not sell the product out of fear of penalties. qoom applications is still a young start-up with a short presence on the market. Its strong growth, and the positive feedback from customers and its partners gives the company confidence that it is right on track. For 2022, it has ambitious goals for new products on the market. The aim is also to expand business partnerships with other tool and service providers to offer customers comprehensive regulatory solutions to support their business operations. As for Dr. Walter's goals for the future, he is confident he will be successful in the long term, and he has the right people and partners to do that. He said, "By working closely with our customers and partners, we set the stage to remain successful in the long run."
