In our interview, he talks about his experiences to date and his expectations of the new position. Read on and get to know him better!  <br\/><br\/><strong>Can you briefly introduce yourself?<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;My name is Arne, I&#8217;m 31 years old and I live in Krefeld with my girlfriend and our daughter. After completing two apprenticeships &#8211; one as a bargeman and the other as a logistics and forwarding agent &#8211; I worked in the shipping industry until 2020 and was able to gain valuable experience in various roles. Thanks to my sound commercial knowledge, I developed an affinity for sales early on, which ultimately led me to this area in the fall of 2020. Since then, sales has not just been a job for me, but my passion, and I can&#8217;t imagine doing anything else.&#8221;<br\/><br\/><strong>Why did you want to join us?<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;To answer this question, I have to go back a little: I first came into contact with apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> during my time as a sales representative at Vescom, a manufacturer of wall coverings and fabrics. During this time, I learned to appreciate the importance of room acoustics in the construction industry and was convinced of the individuality and high standards of apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> right from the start. It quickly became clear that apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> not only offers standardized solutions, but also develops tailor-made concepts &#8211; with a high degree of planning, calculation and production for each individual project. I was particularly impressed by the manufactory-like structure of apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, the outstanding engineering and the variety of design options. Another key factor was apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&#8216;s holistic approach: from the initial consultation to the acoustic calculation, conceptual planning, production in northern Germany and final assembly, everything is offered here from a single source. This comprehensive expertise and the values of apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> motivated me to become part of the team.&#8221;     <br\/><br\/><strong>What aspects of your work with us are you most looking forward to?<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;What I look forward to most are the exciting and challenging discussions with interior designers and clients, especially with regard to room acoustics. I love working with clients to find and implement solutions for their individual challenges. Of course, I would also like to make my contribution to further advancing apn<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and actively shaping the company&#8217;s success story.&#8221;  <br\/><br\/><strong>What do you like to do in your free time?<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;Due to my family situation, spending time with my family is particularly important to me &#8211; whether it&#8217;s doing things together or simply relaxing in the garden. Apart from that, I like to play soccer or enjoy time with my friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>We look forward to working with Arne.
