Benjamin Okkenga

As a digital native I’m always interested in new technologies. I always strive to explore new approaches both in my personal and professional life to create something truly unique in our connected world. Since my first few jobs during my studies I have always been involved in various digital projects. These projects include websites like RTL2's gaming website RTLZWEISpiele.de, mobile apps for the German version of the international hit show Love Island and Smart TV applications for RTL2's video on demand content. In each project I was able to quickly gain the knowledge needed for completing the task, whether it's a programming language like HTML or SQL, a tool like Google Analytics or Tableau or new marketing possibilities. This is a quality which I continue to show in all present projects. During my last years I had the chance to work as a product manager as well as a project manager for various products, which gave me the opportunity to gain knowledge not only in different forms of work but also in several technologies. In all tasks I always focus on a user-centric approach in combination with the corporate goals. Strong familiarity with (at minimum) the following: • Expertise in the media, entertainment and gaming industry • Consumer-focused approach over the entire product life cycle • Technical knowledge for website, mobile and SmartTV/HbbTV development • Team-oriented, strategic and forward-looking work style • Deep analytical thinking and KPI oriented Want to know more about me and my work?
