Andreas Röne

More than 20 years of experience and expertise in online marketing & software development

Andreas Röne founded his first software company while still in school together with a classmate. With applications for driving schools and early internet forums — then still implemented as CGI scripts — they earned their first money. Very early on, he developed a strong interest in internet protocols, HTML, CSS and distributed systems. Driven by this pioneering spirit, he later created the proprietary network protocol DTS (Port 2594 TCP/UDP) together with the accompanying database platform Armarius.

Over the following years, Andreas became the first developer at Kirchner Kommunikation, where he built the “New Media” department and was responsible for CMS systems, product configurators and auction platforms. Later, he took over the technical leadership of the e-commerce systems at s.mile DIREKT AG and, with geosmile.de, became the market leader for geography products in Europe. As CTO, he was also responsible for production, logistics, support and IT across the company’s international locations — including in Belgrade and New York.

After serving as Managing Director of 3B Kommunikation GmbH and later taking full responsibility for IT & e-commerce at Lucky Bike / Radlbauer, Andreas shifted his focus entirely towards SEO and technical platform optimization — working as a consultant, speaker and IT director.

Today, Andreas works as an instructor at BBW Hamburg with a focus on the BvB-IT program (pre-vocational training measure in the IT field). There he supports young people who often live with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD or other particular conditions, and who frequently struggle within conventional vocational training systems. The BvB at BBW provides a dedicated competence and learning center with modern workspaces, quiet rooms and a multi-professional team of instructors, case managers, social and special education staff — specifically designed for participants with special support needs. The program combines three practical training days, one pedagogical group day and vocational school lessons, guiding participants step by step towards training readiness or employment. In this context, Andreas combines his long-standing IT expertise with didactic precision — aiming not only to transfer knowledge, but to create real, sustainable prospects for each individual.
