About

Who we are.

We're not a consultancy that delivers concepts and disappears. We're the people who sit at the table with you, get stuck in, and take responsibility for the go-live.

Consulting, AI, IT, events and marketing – one point of contact who carries the whole thing. We pull in specialists from the network when it gets specific. Clear in communication, direct in action, with the single goal of keeping things moving forward.

Who works at DC?

Felix Degeler

Founder & CEO

At DC, Felix is the founder and strategy lead. For more than a decade, he has been building and shepherding projects for the Mittelstand – with a sharp eye for priorities and an uncompromising focus on what actually holds up day-to-day. Standing still is his enemy, slide warfare too. When he's not writing a book on AI in the Mittelstand or co-organising the AI Superevent in Vienna, he's sitting at the table with leadership teams sorting out the situation.

Doris Simic-Vukeljic

Creative Consultant

At DC, Doris is our creative brain. She gives the brand its tone, look and rhythm – LinkedIn, Instagram and the newsletter all pass across her desk before anything goes live. From years of working with SMEs and independents, she knows the difference between a word that holds and one that smells of consulting boilerplate. Spare, sharp, with attitude – that DC sounds like DC and not like the next consulting house, is her doing.

Marc Baumgartner

Security Engineer

At DC, Marc is our security engineer. IT projects in the Mittelstand rarely fail because of code – they fail because access, data and stack weren't thought through together. He knows that firsthand: as CEO and co-founder of Kitale, he builds systems that are GDPR-tight without making them painful to use. When an engagement moves into execution, he sorts architecture, tools and security so what's left isn't just something running – it's something that holds.

Annika Sukup

Virtual Office Assistant

At DC, Annika is our virtual office assistant. She handles accounting prep and steps in project by project exactly where receipts, scheduling and prep work otherwise fall between the cracks – fast, structured, thinking along. Once it's properly explained, it just runs: no back-and-forth, no status ping-pong. That keeps our heads free for the engagements – and nothing sits around just because no one happens to own it.

We're growing.

DC is intentionally small – but not rigid. As soon as someone new joins for good, you'll find them here.

How does DC work?

Four principles that make a difference day to day.

  • Docking model

    We dock onto your people instead of building parallel structures. The work should stick once we leave.

  • Short sprints

    Start small, ship fast, then scale. Three weeks are often worth more than three months of slide work.

  • Honest assessments

    We tell you what you need to hear – even when that means we're not the right fit right now.

  • Clear metrics

    We define early what success looks like. Otherwise both sides end up unsure whether the work moved the needle.

Who complements our core team?

Behind DC sits a curated network of specialists: UX & product design, software engineering, data analytics, AI engineering, legal & GDPR, tax & accounting, content production, photo & video, SEO & performance marketing, workshop facilitation, sociocracy & governance. We pull in exactly the right people for every project – who that is in detail, you'll see on the respective project page.

Holger Dominik Steinbichler

Aufmerksamkeit auf die wirklichen Bedürfnisse der Menschen, konkrete Handlungsspielräume für die Zukunft.

Felix ist für mich eine dieser seltenen Kombinationen: glasklar im Denken und gleichzeitig unglaublich fein im Umgang mit Menschen.

Er bringt Struktur dorthin, wo andere den Überblick verlieren. Komplexe Projekte zerlegt er ruhig und präzise in sinnvolle Schritte, schafft Orientierung und sorgt dafür, dass Dinge nicht nur geplant, sondern auch wirklich umgesetzt werden. Bei ihm hat man jederzeit das Gefühl: Es gibt einen klaren Weg und wir kommen an.

Tobias Donath

Consultant for domain security and email deliverability

Ich hatte das Vergnügen Felix Degeler im Rahmen von zwei Projekten bei der Migration umfangreicher Domainbestände in ein neues Domainverwaltungssystem zu begleiten. Beide Projekte verliefen sehr erfolgreich und effizient.

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Felix war von Anfang an angenehm, die Kommunikation stets unkompliziert und sehr freundlich. Rückfragen wurden durch Felix schnell und präzise beantwortet, was maßgeblich zum reibungslosen Projektverlauf beigetragen hat.

Ich habe Felix als externen Projektleiter in einem Kundenprojekt (E-Mail-Audit) kennengelernt.

Was ich sofort zu schätzen wusste, ist seine direkte, offene Art zu kommunizieren, die immer auf Augenhöhe abläuft. Ich hatte immer das Gefühl, einen Partner an meiner Seite zu haben.

Annika Sukup

Backoffice consultant for freelancers

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Felix Degeler ist geprägt von Klarheit, Struktur und einem hohen Maß an Professionalität. Besonders schätze ich seine verlässliche, lösungsorientierte Art und die offene Kommunikation – effizient, zielgerichtet und immer auf Augenhöhe.

Als Berater und Projektmanager bringt er nicht nur umfassendes Know-how mit, sondern auch die Fähigkeit, komplexe Themen verständlich und greifbar zu machen. Auch in herausfordernden Situationen bleibt er ruhig, fokussiert und handlungsfähig – eine Qualität, die man in der Zusammenarbeit nicht hoch genug bewerten kann.

What do we stand for?
  • Standing still is the enemy. We get things rolling.

  • Better at the table than in slide decks. Execution beats concept.

  • Human in the loop. Even when AI is in play.

  • 10 % of our profits go to good causes. Every year, no marketing spin.

Transparency in numbers

Felix's AI footprint, live.

We use AI daily and intensively. How much that costs in energy, CO₂ and water, we measure openly – because values without numbers are just claims.

Data updates automatically. Open full view or grab the open code on GitHub and run the numbers yourself. Values are order-of-magnitude estimates.

30 minutes, no commitment

Let's justtalk.

You'll leave with an honest read you can actually use internally – whether we end up working together or respectfully part ways. No pitches. No pressure.
