To­bi­as Roth

My name is To­bi­as Roth and I work as an IT pro­ject ma­na­ger at TecAlliance GmbH. I star­ted my pro­fes­sio­nal ca­re­er in 2009 in the com­pa­ny . Sin­ce then I have worked in a va­rie­ty of po­si­ti­ons, tasks and de­part­ments. Af­ter suc­cess­ful­ly com­ple­ting my A‑Levels, I star­ted training as an IT spe­cia­list with a fo­cus on ap­p­li­ca­ti­on development.

In the cour­se of this I went through the en­t­i­re IT de­part­ment of the com­pa­ny. Af­ter suc­cess­ful com­ple­ti­on of my edu­ca­ti­on, I be­ca­me a web de­ve­lo­per for the de­ve­lo­p­ment and sup­port of soft­ware pro­ducts. Sin­ce my per­so­nal in­te­rest has al­ways been in in­ter­na­tio­nal mat­ters, I sei­zed the op­por­tu­ni­ty and star­ted a dual ba­che­lor cour­se in In­ter­na­tio­nal Busi­ness In­dus­tri­al Sa­les & Mar­ke­ting in coope­ra­ti­on with TecAlliance. In the cour­se of this I mo­ved to the Busi­ness De­ve­lo­p­ment de­part­ment, whe­re I was re­spon­si­ble for the ana­ly­sis of the Chi­ne­se mar­ket and the de­sign of pri­cing models.
In ad­di­ti­on, I was gi­ven the op­por­tu­ni­ty to spend half a year ab­road for a se­mes­ter near Los An­ge­les, Ca­li­for­nia, USA. Be­cau­se I lik­ed part-time stu­dies very much, I de­ci­ded to start a part-time Master’s de­gree in In­ter­na­tio­nal Ma­nage­ment af­ter suc­cess­ful­ly com­ple­ting my Ba­che­lor of Arts (B.A.).

I mo­ved to the In­for­ma­ti­on Ma­nage­ment di­vi­si­on, whe­re I have been IT pro­ject ma­na­ger and pro­duct ow­ner in an agi­le con­text ever sin­ce. Af­ter suc­cess­ful­ly com­ple­ting the Master’s pro­gram with the tit­le Mas­ter of Sci­ence (M.Sc.) and the ad­di­tio­nal tit­le Mas­ter of Busi­ness Ad­mi­nis­tra­ti­on (MBA) from a Bra­zi­li­an uni­ver­si­ty, whe­re I com­ple­ted a pe­ri­od ab­road, TecAlliance of­fe­red me ano­t­her op­por­tu­ni­ty for fur­ther de­ve­lo­p­ment. In ad­di­ti­on to my work as a pro­ject ma­na­ger, I star­ted a part-time doc­to­ral pro­gram at the be­gin­ning of 2019.

All my dif­fe­rent ac­ti­vi­ties in the com­pa­ny were and are cha­rac­te­ri­sed by gre­at col­leagues, va­ried tasks and con­ti­nuous new chal­len­ges. My main tasks are the ma­nage­ment of mul­ti­na­tio­nal agi­le soft­ware de­ve­lo­p­ment teams and pro­ject plan­ning and con­trol. I am also ac­ti­ve as a trai­ner and en­joy working with stu­dents and trainees.
