Christoph Amann · Diploma in Business Administration (BA)

Analyst. Generalist. Networker.

25+ years at the intersection of IT, CRM and sales — combined with one of the best-connected names in the Ulm region. I'm looking for the next role where analysis, execution and relationship-building come together.

Three Pillars

What defines me.

Three areas that have grown into one profile over more than two decades.

01

IT, CRM & Sales

From Salesforce administration to business intelligence to business development: I bridge the technical and the sales side of CRM systems — with hands-on experience in Salesforce, HubSpot and MS Dynamics 365.

  • CertificationForce.com Developer
02

Family

Married, one daughter, based in Ulm. Family is the steady ground that has kept me grounded for years — and the reason I don't just preach reliability, I live it.

  • Statusmarried, 1 daughter
03

Networking

Two decades of relationship-building across southern Germany: XING Ambassador for Ulm and LinkedIn Local Host Ulm. Networking is a craft to me, not a coincidence.

Anyone who nurtures contacts for twenty years learns: trust can't be scaled. You have to earn it.

For more than 25 years I've worked where IT meets people — as an IT administrator, Salesforce administrator, CRM project manager, business development manager, and today as a self-employed networking consultant. What has connected all these years is curiosity about processes and joy in relationships.

I'm based in Ulm, married, with one daughter — the steady ground everything else stands on. In my free time I'm out on my Yamaha Virago XV125, and as a LinkedIn partner of ratiopharm ulm (basketball) and SSV Ulm 1846 (football), I follow my hometown's sports scene.

I started as a XING Ambassador in 2005, supporting more than 11,000 group members and 161 meetups — and later continued that work as LinkedIn Local Host Ulm. Networking isn't a nice-to-have for me; it's a skill trained over two decades.
