Executive Assistant to The CEO

At Vicoland, we give the professional services market a new dimension: Virtual Companies, in short: “Vicos”. We invented Vicos as a new type of supplier, more efficient than traditional professional services firms (consultancies, system integrators, agencies etc.). Enabled through our unique AI-driven SaaS platform, Vicos allow freelance experts to team up and act like a real company, competing successfully for large enterprise projects.
Our Vicos are already transforming how professional services projects are done. Since our launch 1.5 years ago, Vicos won projects from large corporate clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Netflix, or the German Federal Government, as well as from many mid-sized businesses. Vicoland was mentioned by Forbes and Forrester as a leading force in the market.
Our SaaS platform is an integrated solution of marketing, organizational, legal and financial tech. It includes a marketplace that matches clients and Vicos. It is integrated into the world’s leading procurement software provided by one of our partners, SAP.
There are already over 400 Vicos on our platform, uniting thousands of freelancers. Our central team has 40 members and is located across Europe, expanding to the US. Our headquarters are in Frankfurt/Main.
