Hans Dill

“I had the pleasure of working with Hans on the global marketing leadership team at Apptio. I admire his leadership style of bringing people together to make the most of their skills, talents and knowledge to achieve goals as a team. In our ever distributed workforce, Hans has the ability to build trust, mutual respect and accountability no matter where his co-workers may be. Our weekly 1:1 meetings were something I always looked forward to because the time was spent collaborating to achieve our largest corporate goals. Hans was a great partner in providing EMEA regional input on the corporate brand, public relations and content creation. He had a knack for taking the corporate narrative to a localized level for maximum results.”

“If you’re looking to hire an amazing marketing leader, then Hans is that person. Hans played an integral role in my decision to join Apptio last year. His intelligence, professionalism and leadership qualities are second to none. Under his leadership he positively influenced my career through his guidance and his support of not just myself but the broader APAC marketing team. His dedication to his global team is nothing short of inspiring, and his ability to coach others is kind and efficient. Hans is more than just a great leader and coach, he also has incredible business acumen, a deep knowledge of what it takes to bring a SaaS solutions to market, and is a talented marketer and strategist. Any organisation should consider themselves lucky to have him has part of their leadership team.”

“Hans is the kind of inspirational leader who is really making a difference in an organization. On top of his multiple professional skills - already well described in the previous recommendations - I would like to emphasize his outstanding interpersonal skills. Hans has the ability to lead a multicultural team, engage them in a #oneteamonegoal mode while making each member feel very special, recognized and welcomed with their own uniqueness. After more than 25 years in the IT industry, this is the first time that I have the impression of being part of a real international team, being my authentic self at work.”

“Hans is a wonderful leader who is passionate about talent and team development. As a Recruiter, it's always a dream to partner leaders who really care about not just who they bring to their team, but the journey to get there, and also how other members of the team can feel part of the process. Hans understands the nuances of hiring across regions, local and global, and is a true Brand Ambassador and talent champion! It is always a pleasure to work with Hans and his teams thrive under his leadership.”

“Hans Dill is one of the most delightful people I had the pleasure of working for in my career. Not only did he lead by example, but his constant communication helped lift our spirits in challenging situations while keeping us apprised of the priorities of senior leaders. I was always impressed by his ability to push us to reach our full potential through complete transparency. Under his supervision, I completed some of my best work and was able to gain valuable professional experience. His dedication (and expertise) to Field & Partner Marketing is nothing short of admirable, and his ability to coach others is something that I’ll miss. I’m grateful to have worked with Hans and highly recommend his leadership style and skills to any fast-paced organization.”

“Hans is one of those rare leaders you only come across once or twice in your career. He joined Apptio at a pivotal moment to lead the EMEA Marketing function and from there grew and nurtured us into a Global Revenue and Partner Marketing powerhouse! His leadership style is open, honest, and supportive which enabled him to build a solid and resilient team who rose to any challenge. I personally can't thank Hans enough for the direction, encouragement and opportunity he gave me and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding Global Leader.”

“There are few times in ones career that a truly inspirational leader comes along who has a natural ability to not only change a company for the better, but also the people within. Hans is one of those leaders. During our joint tenure at Apptio, Hans has been my greatest ally, an inspirational leader, cool head when we needed one, and fountain of knowledge and experience without ego or agenda. Hans has consistently demonstrated a unique ability to further the interests of both the company as well as the people reporting to and working with him. He has established new teams and functions that became integral parts of the organization, delivered outstanding results, and produced a host of new, successful leaders, who he equipped with many of his own skills, traits, and drive for success. I feel honoured and privileged for having had the opportunity to work for and alongside Hans for over 2 years and will take the skills and knowledge he imparted on me and my team forward, to benefit not only the companies I work for in the future but also my own career and personal development.”

He builds excellent teams with a great attitude in supporting the business, and making our marketing events, messages and interactions fun and engaging. He is a thoughtful leader who listens to his team and the business and always finds a way to be successful. I can strongly recommend Hans as a strong marketing leader!”

“Hans is a seasoned international marketing executive with a consistent track-record of building outstanding leadership teams and driving an innovative mix of marketing strategies. At Informatica he implemented for EMEA and LATAM a solid mix of field marketers, digital campaigns and account-based initiatives and targeted very well the different target groups from strategic accounts to mid-market enterprises. With his passion he fully supported the business model changes into subscription business and resulted in 3 years of growth and target over achievement. Even though he led a large team he took the time and effort to get to know all his people and take a personal interest in them. This energized his teams and built trusting relationships, resulting in people willing to go the extra-mile for him. I am very happy to recommend Hans for international marketing executive roles. ”

Hans understands cultural nuances and diversity, and know how to be locally relevant within a global strategy and framework. I was originally hired by Hans, and then again had an opportunity to have him as my direct manager for the last two years.

I would not hesitate a second to work for him again should our paths cross and the opportunity arise! ”

I've learned to know Hans as results oriented, professional marketing leader with a can do mentality. He drove and drives me to a better performance in both my time as alliances leader for a large global system integrator as well as in my role as head of global system integrator alliances at Informatica. It's always a pleasure to work with people who help you improve; working with Hans is a pleasure.”

“I worked with Hans as his peer for some years and then as his direct report for more than 3 years. In both positions it has been a great pleasure. Under his leadership I was able to respect him as a leader and learn from his examples. He is a reliable, fair and very competente professional. In several situations I was able to see how well he can deal with many different issues. His knowledge in business is excellent and he has a very broad view of the European market. I highly recommend Hans for all his capabilities and I know he will be a great performer and an excellent acquisition for any company. ”

“In our time running the EMEA Emerging Markets territory for Informatica, Hans brought an advanced level of marketing leadership, strategy and process to a very fragmented region. Hans' marketing management, ensured we were delivering some of the highest performance against KPIs across the entre organization. Hans was a fantastic asset to our leadership team for this region and most importantly, a person of integrity and empathy in a very culturally diverse territory.”

Hans is the type of manager that is structured, detailed, and result driven - but never loses sight of personal growth and ambitions of his team. I can state that I wouldn't have grown into my current position so fast without his coaching and leadership. Hence I am excited to continue working with Hans in the EMEA Marketing Management team.”
