Markus Schmidt - Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

"My name is Markus Schmidt, and I am the CEO of 01FLK. My journey began over 20 years ago when I earned my MBA from Heidelberg University in Germany. From the start, I’ve been driven by a passion for innovation and transforming small ideas into projects that create a tangible impact on people’s lives. This passion led me to work across global markets, face diverse challenges, and build multinational teams that achieved remarkable successes.

My career started at a green-tech startup, where I was one of the co-founders. Within five years, we grew from a small idea into a European leader, thanks to our focus on innovation and sustainability. Later, I moved to the United States to take on the role of Vice President for International Expansion at a leading tech company. My work centered on scaling operations, and we successfully launched products in over 20 countries, giving me profound expertise in building global businesses.

One of my proudest accomplishments was leading the development of an AI platform tailored to support small businesses. This platform bridged the gap between technology and entrepreneurs, enabling thousands to turn their dreams into reality. This experience cemented my belief that technology is not just a tool but a catalyst for creating new opportunities and driving sustainable growth.

Today, with the 01FLK team, I am focused on transforming our vision into reality. We are not just building innovative brands; we are creating a comprehensive ecosystem that empowers every individual to enhance their skills and become the best in their field. Our vision is to establish a global framework that integrates cutting-edge design, technology, and AI to help people transform their ideas into impactful realities.

My Message to the World

"To everyone striving to achieve their dreams: remember that challenges are nothing more than opportunities in disguise. When you focus on your passion and vision, nothing can stop you. As humans, we are capable of extraordinary things when we work together. Technology and innovation are our tools to build a better future, but our connection to humanity is what truly drives progress.

My call to action is simple: let’s transform our planet into a paradise for everyone. Let us be a force for good and use our knowledge and technologies to create a world filled with love, kindness, and understanding. Together, we can build a future that leaves no one behind—a future where every individual can thrive and contribute to a better tomorrow."
