His appointment as CAO and the fifth member of the Management Team reflects both his personal achievements and the ever-growing importance of data-driven decision-making,” commented InnoGames Co-Founder and CEO Hendrik Klindworth.
Lenz added further added “Even when I first joined InnoGames, I was impressed by the clean data set-up and the competent and transparent use of data. Building on this strength, other data enthusiasts and I were able to follow and co-shape the journey into the age of big data. Our goal was (and still is) to ensure that buzzwords like “marketing attribution” and “machine learning” are always backed by concrete benefits for InnoGames and our players. Overall, we want to continue to draw competitive advantage from our unique blend of creativity and enthusiasm for our games and data-driven foresight. I am honored to support the management team in this mission and look forward to creating many more millions of hours of gaming fun with my 400+ fantastic colleagues.”
