More than 10 years in planning, steering and optimizing of complex and workforce-intense operational processes

In May 2019, Silvio Barro and Alexandr Uzunov founded Optimes GmbH. The company is part of Impact Hub Zurich and located at Hardbrücke. However, first things first. All goes back to January 2018 with a brainstorming session that resulted in 11 ideas. 4 of these were shortlisted. Finally, the topic of "use of workforce" prevailed - not quite by chance. The two founding members and managing partners bring a broad experience in this area from the airport environment. For more than 10 years, Silvio and Alexandr have been working at Zurich Airport as well as internationally at other airports on 5 continents - also in management positions. Their core competencies are planning, steering and optimizing of complex and workforce-intense operational processes.

And what attracts them to the topic of "use of workforce" at all? Reconciling the diverse needs and wishes! This is often very challenging, but not impossible, and the prerequisite for a better use of workforce. First, there are the frontline workers who are in contact with customers. Of course, the needs and wishes of the customers must also be taken into account. Finally, the store management or owners bring another perspective into the equation. Do you wonder if there will be several winners in the end? In any case this would be the best scenario.
