From position 9 to 8: Christopher Hauptmann is the new CPO for ETHLETE 3

Christopher Hauptmann will join Braune Digital on 1st
October 2022. As Chief Product Officer (CPO), he will be responsible for the strategy
and product development of the competition software ETHLETE. Additional impetus
was recently provided by the state government in Schleswig-Holstein: ETHLETE was
awarded first place in the digitalisation prize “Best of DIGITALES.SH”.

ETHLETE is an app suite for global eSports competitions and is already being used
by renowned organisations in eFootball to run worldwide series. Hauptmann’s
primary task will be to develop ETHLETE as a stand-alone product, establish further
services and apps, and develop positioning, strategy and marketing for the
expansion.

Hauptmann most recently worked at the executive level of a medium-sized company,
where he managed marketing and drove digitalisation. “With Christopher
Hauptmann we get a strategically acting eighth man who can play the deadly pass.
I am looking forward to the cooperation and to further expanding the use of ETHLETE
in eSports with him,” explains Henrik Braune, Managing Director of Braune Digital.

For Hauptmann, the commitment to eSports closes a circle. Formerly responsible for
goals as a centre forward for Holstein Kiel, the virtual pitch is now the new sphere of
activity for the North German, who has a degree in sports management and is also
an avid gamer.
