ABOUT DIRK BLÖSSL
I build the bridge between technology and business in digital platforms & E-Commerce.For over 13 years, I\'ve been leading engineering teams that design, architect, and deliver enterprise-grade digital platforms - from CMS to Commerce, from strategy to go-live. Today, I lead a 40-person engineering organization across the DACH region, delivering platform projects that regularly exceed person-days in scope.What sets me apart: I don\'t just understand the tech - I translate it. Whether it\'s a C-level stakeholder who needs clarity on platform decisions, or a sales team that needs a credible technical partner in the room, I operate at the intersection where architecture meets business impact.My core focus areas:→ E-Commerce platform strategy (Shopify, Scayle, CommerceTools, Spryker, custom builds)→ DXP platform strategy (Adobe, Optimizely)→ Solution architecture for complex, multi-market rollouts (Composable Commerce, MACH)→ Technical pre-sales and C-level advisory→ Scaling engineering teams and delivery organizations→ Headless/composable architecture decisions with real-world pragmatismI\'ve helped shape digital platforms for a variety of global players - always with a focus on what actually works, not what sounds good on a slide.Currently VP of Engineering at DEPT® in DACH. Always open to conversations about roles where technology meets commercial impact.
