P4F #017 with Henrik Hahn, CDO of Evonik Industries & CEO of Evonik Digital

In our current podcast episode, we look at an aspect that doesn't
come up so often in our conversations: the closing of a B2B
platform. For this, we caught up with Henrik Hahn from Evonik
Industries. Henrik is Chief Digital Officer of the Evonik Group and
CEO of Evonik Digital. In his role, he initiated the development of
a marketplace in 2017 - an absolute novelty in the very traditional
chemical industry. 3 years later, however, the platform is already
history. Why Evonik abandoned the idea, what hurdles Henrik had to
deal with, and what he nevertheless learned from this journey into
the startup world - that's what he talks about rather frankly with
Natalie and Matthias.
