Armin has always been an entrepreneur. It all started with a biorhythm program back in 1982, when he was a high school student. Commodore PET 3001, Commodore C64, Apple IIe and the IBM PC ran the BASIC program. 5.25″ floppy disks reached the users via snail mail.

He co-founded 11 IT companies in 1986, 1999 (2), 2006, 2007, 2008 (3), 2010, 2013, and 2018. In 2003 and in 2008, he invested as a Business Angel. After all, he produced one deep crater and several products without enough traction.

In 2018, he became Managing Partner of Chemstations Europe GmbH, Berlin in a management buyout (MBO).

Armin graduated with a Wirtschaftsingenieur diploma in economics and engineering from Karlsruhe University (TH)(1992). He received a Doctor in Economics from Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (Austria)(1997).
