This post is a small tribute to our journey, our team, and the special dynamics that distinguish us. Join us in looking back on 10 years full of success, growth, and teamwork.

What is your favorite story from working with the U.S. team?

“I remember when, a couple of years ago, we did a potluck here in the office. We had multiple nationalities at that time, so we decided to bring a specific type of food from each country. Christoph brought some homemade pretzels, Tyler brought some brownies, I brought some empanadas, and our former Account Manager Jesse wanted to make Pisco Sours. So, Pisco Sours usually consists of many different ingredients. One of the most important is the pisco, and the lemons. So, everything was pretty much ready, but we noticed that he missed the lemons. So, we had pisco, but without the sour! It was funny because that’s the important part of doing Pisco Sours, so we had to deliver the pisco with everything else, but without the lemons.” – Manuel Medina, Account Manager LATAM at Theobald Software in the U.S.

“So initially, we’d been to a lot of conferences to present our products – and we are still doing this today. One day, Christoph came up with an idea for various conferences, and I’d always ask, ‘And where is it? Is it in Vegas?’ And Christoph said, ‘Yes, it’s Vegas. Again. Vegas.’ And this event? ‘Yes. Vegas. Again.’ That has more or less turned into a running gag over the years. ‘Is it in Vegas?’ ‘Yes, it’s Vegas. Again.’ – Patrick Theobald, Founder of Theobald Software

“I started back in 2010, and I think I was employee number six, so we were very small company. When I have a look at the company nowadays – so we were like 55 people, very professional, serving thousands of customers worldwide – and I think it’s a very nice company story and I always love to look at this journey.” – Peter Wohlfarth, CEO at Theobald Software

What is your favorite thing about working with Theobald Software’s U.S. team?

“We have a, a lot of nationalities and cultures within our team – I think like 12 different nationalities. I think that’s quite a lot, when you have a look at the team size – like 55 people – and this brings a lot of different backgrounds into the team. Not only cultural backgrounds, but also different perspectives different opinions, and I think that’s a very, very important thing to be a successful company.” – Peter Wohlfarth, CEO at Theobald Software

What makes Theobald Software so special?

“It’s a very special mix between a very professional and successful company. A technology leader in the world, on the one side. But on the other side, a very small company from southwest Germany serving global players – big customers – with a company size like that I would consider us as one of the hidden champions the German market has to offer.” – Peter Wohlfarth, CEO at Theobald Software

“I used to work for a very large software company in the Seattle area, and to me, it was very refreshing to come to a very young, a very dynamic, a very motivated group of people. I would say to this day, that is something that I still enjoy very much. Every single day I feel motivated and encouraged to come to work and do something that helps our customers and that’s very rewarding. Doing that in a team that is very supportive, not just here in the U.S. but also with our folks in Germany makes it so much better.”  – Christoph Schuler, General Manager at Theobald Software in the U.S.
