\"Christopher<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Christopher Schmidt is Software Engineer in Team Data at ARIVA <\/strong>and is one of the personalities of corporate history. He has been an impressive head behind ARIVA since his entry in 2007, after a Interview with founder Jochen Pape<\/strong>, and has significantly accompanied the development of ARIVA. His path led him from the Ruhr area via a computer science study in Bochum and a station in a Cologne start-up finally to the north and to ARIVA.<\/p>

Many solutions that ARIVA today feature are handwriting. A particularly visible example is the charts used by numerous users:inside on ariva.de. They are symbolic of sustainable technical developments that create added value in the long term.<\/p>

Today Christopher works in the Team Data and takes care of, among other things, that systems and data interact smoothly<\/strong>. He often acts as Interface between growing structures and new technologies<\/strong>. Colleague: not only as a developer, but also as an organizational institution with a strong sense of responsibility. This makes him a shapi<\/span>ng head behind ARIVA.<\/p>

Despite high dema<\/span>nds, he describes the working atmosphere as very positive: a dema<\/span>nding everyday life, but carried by a strong team and a very good operating<\/span> climate<\/strong>. Personal exchange in the office is an important part of it.<\/p>

Christopher is also engaged outside the company: He drives passionately bicycles<\/strong>, photographed and has been since 2023 Mayor of the Grand Vollstedt<\/a><\/strong>beside his profession and his family.<\/p>

What keeps him at ARIVA is clear to him: the team and the proximity to the stock market topic<\/strong>. His conclusion points to the point: “I belong to ARIVA.” And we say “Thanks Christopher” <\/strong>for your years of commitment!<\/p>
