Oliver Gritz pioneered Ontegos Cloud. He is a seasoned logistics industry veteran with nearly 40 years of experience. By the age of 29, Oliver was already a regional CFO, and by 39, he was an executive board member and global CFO of DHL Express, the world’s leading international express company.

Oliver’s success was built on a rare talent: the ability to design and implement highly effective performance management systems. His expertise in optimizing business performance through precise and actionable information became the cornerstone of his career.

Obsessed with his quest for increased efficiency he discovered three insightful phenomenas:

1. People are most effective when they work in an area of natural talent. The best individual performance comes from the combination of unique talent and uncompromising focus.
2. World-class performance requires outstanding teams. These consist best performing individuals with complementary strengths, cooperating optimally.
3. Technology exponentially accelerates indivdual and team performance.  When applied effectively, it can double productivity and significantly improve human motivation.

Fascinated by these insights, Oliver founded the charity organization “Run & Ride for Reading” to help children find and develop their individual talents through improved education. In furthering his passion he authored the book World Class: The World Needs Your Absolute Best!

Our Company Values

In his introduction to Apple's 1997 'Think Different' campaign, Steve Jobs shared profound marketing insights, asserting that marketing revolves around values. It's about understanding what a company stands for, its place in the world, and its overarching purpose. Jobs pointed to Nike as an exemplary company that successfully answered these questions. Instead of positioning itself merely as a sports shoe manufacturer, Nike embraced a broader identity—a company that pays homage to great athletes and celebrates exceptional athletics.

Inspired by this perspective, we delved into defining what Ontegos Cloud represents. What are our values? To answer this, let's revisit the article titled “How to Maximize Profitability”. A comment on my co-author Renato Chiavi's work practices caught our attention. The critique misunderstood the message, focusing on working hours rather than the essence of the article. The core idea wasn't about the duration of work but about unwavering commitment, a sense of absolute responsibility, and genuine care for the business and its people.

Truly caring is an often-underappreciated virtue found in select individuals within every company. These individuals transcend self-interest, caring deeply about something larger than themselves. They pay meticulous attention to every aspect of their work, displaying complete dedication to achieving outstanding results. They play a pivotal role in holding companies together, propelling them forward, and contributing to the betterment of the world. At Ontegos Cloud, we proudly celebrate and honor these exceptional individuals. Renato Chiavi is a prime example in this context. Another one is my esteemed friend and former colleague, Charlie Dobbie, who lived and worked by the motto “every shipment counts”. This motto encapsulates the core value of DHL Express. Each customer using the services of DHL Express can rest assured that their shipments will unquestionably arrive on time. It demands every conceivable ounce of human energy to live up to this quality statement.

At Ontegos Cloud we have adopted this ethos of truly caring. What does this mean exactly? It means that we are passionate about the quality of every single data point within the companies we are privileged to work with. Our standard is nothing less than perfection because perfect data is fundamental to achieving maximum service quality, profitability, and cash-flow. Perfect data empowers precision management, process automation, and optimal customer information.

The attainment of perfect data has become feasible due to recent advancements in information technology, a topic covered extensively in various articles (How to Convert Technology into World Class Business Results, What Can Be Automated, Optimal Financial Reporting).
