In our own affairs: Twice the Talent, Twice the Impact
As of July 1, 2025, Sarah Lange and Florian Lenz will form the company’s first dual leadership team for Design & Product Experience. Meanwhile, Jonas Lempa is expanding his focus within the management board as Managing Director for Future & Innovation.
Berlin, June 20, 2025 – As an award-winning Berlin-based digital agency and innovation consultancy known for its user-centered digital services and products, we are expanding our leadership structure to meet the growing challenges of an increasingly complex digital landscape. Beginning July 1, 2025, Sarah Lange and Florian Lenz will jointly assume the newly established dual leadership as Directors Design & Product Experience. Working closely with the executive team, they will be responsible for driving strategic development in this core area.
At the same time, executive partner Jonas Lempa, who - alongside CEO Maik Fahldieck - has been part of the management team, will refocus his responsibilities as Managing Director Future & Innovation. In this role, he will lead key initiatives around AI-powered service development, systems innovation and the broader societal relevance of digital products.
With this realignment, we are looking to introduce a collaborative leadership model grounded in shared accountability, deep thematic expertise and a strong emphasis on client team enablement. The new structure reflects the increasing demands of modern product development and clarifies strategic responsibilities within the organization. Sarah Lange and Florian Lenz, who have both been with Taikonauten for nearly a decade, represent excellence in methodical design, user-centered strategy and operational strength.
“We believe in leadership in motion,” says Maik Fahldieck, Founder and CEO of Taikonauten. “In a digital world that is evolving at ever-increasing speed, we need teams that lead together - with vision, purpose and curiosity. This new constellation with Sarah and Florian makes us stronger, more future-ready and more impactful.”
We are excited about the future!
