Ray Asuncion, Manager, Stategic Advisor
I had the pleasure of working with Thomas Wieberneit as the moderator for a recent panel discussion, and it was a fantastic experience. What stood out to me most was how he went beyond the script, steering the conversation in a way that made it more dynamic and thought-provoking. Instead of just moving through pre-set questions, Thomas really dug into the topics, encouraging a real discussion rather than just quick, surface-level responses.
His ability to keep the conversation engaging and natural while still hitting key insights made all the difference. As a panelist, I really appreciated how he created space for meaningful dialogue rather than just structured Q&A. His deep understanding of the industry, combined with his ability to ask the right questions at the right time, kept the discussion flowing effortlessly.

Sarita Kincaid, VP Corporate Communications, SugarAI
Thomas brings an unusual mix of industry analyst-meets-consultant to his guidance and engagements. I especially value his deep knowledge of both GTM levers (partners, channels, and routes to market) and his technical acumen. I recommend him to vendors looking for strategic insights for roadmap, product development, and market development, and to end-users looking for expert guidance on CRM purchases and deployments.

Andreas Winter, Managing Consultant, Wavestone
I had the great pleasure to work with Thomas in several strategic IT Projects and he impressed me with his expertise, strategic thinking and bringing ideas to the road.
Thomas anticipates, seeks solutions proactively, guides the customer to the defined target and has the ability to ask the right questions at the right time.
Our joint project topics were sourcing, IT strategy, business coaching, and requirements management for Customer Service Next Generation, Digital Learning Platform and Conversational AI.
I deeply value Thomas — both professionally and personally — and can recommend him without reservation.

Susanne Lesshaeve, Head of Marketing & Communication, Cullen International
When we set out to replace our old CRM system, which was no longer fit for purpose, we first hired aheadCRM to help us map out our requirements for a new solution.
Since we already had a shortlist of well-known vendors, we didn’t think we needed further support for the selection process — but it turned out we weren’t even aware of the option that best met our needs.
Thanks to Thomas’s thorough analysis and expert advice, we ultimately chose a comprehensive ERP solution that not only included an excellent CRM module but also a full suite of other applications. This helped us streamline our business processes and even reduce costs.
We truly benefited from Thomas’s deep experience and strong connections across the industry, which ensured we found the best possible fit for our organisation.

Sandy Lo, Global Head of Corporate Communications, Zoho
Thomas is someone you want in your corner. Since Zoho started working with Thomas, we've been able to trust him with candid and constructive guidance to grow our targeted markets year after year. Thomas is not just an analyst or an advisor, he is a partner. He is focused on our success and holds us accountable in meeting his high standards. As a client, we trust him to not give us the pretty picture, but to help us see our gaps and holes. Thomas has taken the time to deeply understand Zoho's strengths and weaknesses -- and this goes far beyond the usual briefings in the annual rhythm. To earn his praise and trust is to have met a higher level of industry expectations. We continue to strive for that.
