Ten years ago, Antje Wallner took over as managing director of Dr. Wallner Engineering GmbH (DRWE). What has been achieved since then cannot be summed up by a single milestone – it is evident every day: in the team, in customer relationships, and in the way DRWE operates as a company.
Leadership with a Clear Course
Ten years on the executive board of a PLM consulting firm have meant ten years of technological change – from new versions of Teamcenter and Siemens NX to evolving requirements for digital product development among small and medium-sized enterprises. During this time, Antje Wallner has not only managed DRWE but has also actively driven its development forward: with a clear strategic direction, great foresight, and the composure to make well-informed decisions even during challenging times.
What "Attitude" Means in Everyday Business Life
Leadership isn’t demonstrated through empty rhetoric, but through day-to-day interactions – with the team, with customers, and when making difficult decisions. For many at DRWE, this is exactly what makes the difference: a management team that takes responsibility without losing sight of the big picture. This approach has shaped DRWE’s corporate culture for over ten years and remains the foundation for how we collaborate with customers in the Teamcenter and Siemens NX areas.
Ten Years of PLM: Rethinking the Concept
PLM is not a rigid system, but rather a constantly evolving field – both organizationally and technologically. The fact that DRWE continually rethinks PLM rather than resting on its laurels is largely the result of this leadership. The courage to question established processes and to guide customers on their journey toward a true PLM organization is a central part of what DRWE stands for today.
Thank you, Antje
Ten years of leadership, ten years of trust, ten years of courage to drive progress: The DRWE team would like to thank Antje Wallner for a decade that has had a lasting impact on Dr. Wallner Engineering GmbH.
