Bio

Axel Brill is based in northern Germany and has over 30 years' experience in the software industry. Axel co-founded Hoffmann Datentechnik in the late '80s and as its CEO built it out to become Germany's leading workforce management (WFM) solution provider for the retail sector. He sold the company in 2006 to Torex PLC. After helping with the integration, Axel headed off for a three-year sailing tour of half the planet where he photographed undersea wildlife. Following this, he invested in a Danish WFM SaaS vendor and worked as a regional director for the world's leading WFM vendor, Kronos. Axel also owns a German franchise of Executives Online, offering a broad range of interim management services and project managers. Axel joined Hampleton as Sector Principal with a focus on information management, enterprise applications, including time and attendance (T&A), WFM, and logistics and vertical applications. Axel began his career by applying his management education to a family-operated automobile distributorship, moving on to a sales position at a data-processing company, and shortly thereafter co-founded his first software company devoted to the sales of software for professional craftsmen.
