"mesh." = {network}
“mesh” means network. It also means “to engage gears” or to foster collaboration. With trusted, hand-picked partners and team members - whom you see below.
Furthermore, it means "#" which is one of the key symbols of "digitalization" and of the pressure on business models that comes along.
​
THE CHALLENGE. We are convinced that flexibility and “digital readiness” are crucial for the success and survival of most companies.
The megatrends Digitalization, Urbanization, Sustainability and Sharing lead to changed customer behavior and a rising pressure by new competitors - in particularly new players who dare to "disrupt" established markets by re-defining market standards and rules.
While it was partly possible to stay an observer when the first digital wave hit the media companies in the late 1990s, today every company needs to define at least its own understanding of "digitalization" and design its own "digital" landscape: individual fields of action and a roadmap. Ideally based on a Health Check.
Despite all the "noise" and often misleading discussions with fancy buzzwords, the key levers of transformation can and need to be approached systematically:
-
from the advancement of current business models
-
and the creation of new solutions and profit streams
-
to organizational change (structures, processes, partner management, project house re-integration etc.)
-
and cultural readiness.
This often requires to cooperate in project teams with diverse small, partly new and changing partners who add their specific expertise to the own business.
While current structures and cooperation mechanisms are reasonable to manage the current core business, they are often not the most appropriate option to realize new solutions and steer diverse projects with flexible partners in a fast and efficient manner.

DR. SIMONE JANZ
FOUNDER, MANAGING DIRECTOR
Since succesfully building her first business in 1998 and closely witnessing the first "new economy" wave, Simone believes: a senior single-point-of-contact and an excellent, flexible network of partners are crucial success factors for innovative projects. In particularly, if time to market and superior competitive advantage in design and execution count.
Her comprehensive experience in Top-Management consulting and as Manager and Leader of large, international and cross-functional projects "off the beaten tracks" further convinced her of this. The idea for mesh. was born.
Grown up near Cologne, Simone completed her economic studies in St. Gallen, Boston and Hohenheim with a focus on Corporate Strategy, Business Development, Marketing and Performance Management.
She started her professional career in 2004 in St. Gallen with Consulting, the St. Gallen Best Practice in Marketing program and Leadership Trainings for diverse partners such as Hilti, PostFinance, Sanofi, Roche Pharma, SBB, Winterthur Insurances and SwissRe.
Simone continued this path as Manager and Inhouse Consultant at the Bayer AG, fine-tuning her consulting skills working for ex McKinsey and BCG partners.

​
As Manager in Audi's Corporate Strategy department, Simone was later responsible for several innovative, cross-functional initiatives and teams - with a focus on mobility solutions, marketing and business development.
​
Having always seeked sweet spots for her clients and employers, Simone found a sweet spot for herself at the end of 2017: a unique chance to leverage her strengths and previous experiences in industry and consulting in order to realize her dream and truly be an entrepreneur. Executing a soft launch, Simone spend several months realizing first projects, re-assessing her network, building a team and partnerships to transform mesh. from a project platform into a scalable GmbH which she officially founded in May 2018.
