Meet our new CEO

We’re excited to announce Marcus Glaad as our new CEO!

With his genuine optimism and a knack for bringing out the best in everyone around him, Marcus is set to lead Dotkeeper into an exciting new chapter.

But who is Marcus, beyond his new title? In this blog post, we had the opportunity to sit down with Marcus for a quick chat to get to know him a little better. Marcus shares insights into his inspirations, his vision for Dotkeeper’s future, and the best advice he’s received throughout his career.

So Marcus, what or who inspires you the most?

My mother who raised three children by herself and taught me important fundamental qualities and values that I carry with me every day:

• Treating people fairly and treating them the way you want to be treated yourself.
• That you get very far with logical thinking and common sense.
• No one is flawless, sometimes mistakes occur. People are rarely interested in hearing more about the error that occurred, it’s more important to focus on solving the problem and make sure you take responsibility and are available to those affected.

It may sound rather basic and not so revolutionary, but you can get surprisingly far with these qualities.

And, very importantly, the Dotkeeper Team, all my fantastic colleagues who not only make my work enjoyable but also bring out the best in me. They genuinely make me happy to go to work every day.

What is your ambition or vision for Dotkeeper moving forward?

My vision has not changed going from COO to CEO, the focus remains for us to be the most value-creating partner within digital assets, irrespective of whether you represent a well-known global group or an exciting startup. It is nice if we can be a superhero within our areas of expertise and helping clients in need, but it’s even better if we can turn our clients into superheroes in their industries, through our work and advice. I have no ambition for us to be the largest provider; rather, we aspire to be close, personal, and strategic advisors.

What is the best advice you have received during your career?

”Begin with the end in mind”. It’s straightforward and it’s great because you can apply it in your everyday work, the small one-time task or building a five-year business plan. What exactly is the outcome you’re striving for? Once you have a clear understanding of that, you can begin mapping out the path to reach it.
