In the last post, we presented to you the board of savedroid AG. Now let’s talk about the supervisory board. Although the supervisory board is not responsible for the management of the company, it essentially controls the work of the management board. Nevertheless, the composition of the supervisory board also shows the potential that a company has.

In addition to their controlling function, the members of the supervisory board, especially in the initial phase of a company, are also always an important source of know-how, inspiration and ability to open doors. The more high-profile personalities a company gathers for its supervisory board, the better. savedroid is well positioned for its upcoming ICO.

Debjit D. Chaudhuri, Chairman of the Board

In 1999, Debu founded the German branch of the Indian IT concern Infosys with more than 1,500 consultants. 15 out of 30 DAX companies were his customers. Since 2009, he has pursued other projects. He advises German and Indian companies that want to be active in the other country and invests in startups — including savedroid.

“In my short career as an investor, I have come to realize that I am not a visionary and there is no way I can predict the future. Hence, I have learnt the hard way of “learning by burning” and my 2 conclusions are:

1. Am I investing in a “megatrend”

2. Am I investing in the right people

savedroid strongly brings both these philosophies together — Using AI, Data, etc. to create better products and services is certainly a megatrend and the team at savedroid is certainly very capable — both in experience as well as their commitment to be successful. They are passionate about what they do and they are very dedicated to all their stakeholders — Clients, Employees and Investors. With these basic foundations in place, I believe we are on a right track — though I still can’t predict the future.”

Jochen Siegert, Deputy Chairman of the Board

Jochen is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and mentor in the areas of fintech and payment. He looks back on 17 years of experience and leadership in the payment industry (MasterCard, PayPal, Bigpoint, KarstadtQuelleBank). Jochen is currently CEO/COO of traxpay AG, a fintech supporting banks in the B2B business. He is also host of the first German fintech podcast, at www.paymentandbanking.com. He is a board or advisory board member of Figo, FinLeap and savedroid.

Jochen says: “As a child, I had a playful introduction to saving through things like the Knax-Club or the Jeans-Sparbuch and thought that saving was something exciting. That was unfortunately lost by the daunting and technical wording of banks. Thanks to new, creative ideas and a radical customer focus, savedroid finally brings back fun and emotion.”

Robert Hable

Robert is the founder and CEO of 2iQ Research, a company that specializes in collecting and analyzing Iegal insider trading data (directors’ dealings) and evaluates this data for financial market forecasting.

He was also a Bitcoin evangelist from the beginning. He firmly believes that the crypto market will become a major asset class, like stocks, bonds or commodities. The reason: the underlying technology (Blockchain and smart contracts) will change the economy even more lastingly than the Internet.

Robert finds the savedroid project very exciting and would like to move it forward with his knowledge of founding companies and of cryptocurrencies.
