“Do it, do it, automate it”: FINN’s CTO on courage and no-code

When it comes to efficiency, Andreas Stryz doesn’t pull his punches.

FINN, a fast-growing German platform for new car subscriptions, had to take on large incumbents to enter its ultra-competitive market. So its CTO and Co-Founder Andreas (Andi) Stryz knows just how vital it is for a young company to find efficiencies that drive speed and innovation.

For Andi, driving efficiency throughout the company is critical to ensuring FINN can deliver on its mandate to make the global economy more sustainable.

At FINN, this mindset translates into a ruthless focus on improving processes all across the business, with both technical and non-technical people empowered to identify and build solutions wherever necessary. So how does Andi foster this mentality?

A “do it” attitude

For businesses to continuously improve their processes, there needs to be a persistent cultural appetite for change. For Andi, this means there needs to be an almighty, relentless willingness to ‘break things’ in order to make something better.

With such strong leadership from Andi and his co-founders, this commitment to a cycle of continuously breaking processes to improve them could be construed as a top-down initiative. But the way Andi sees it, his focus is really about doing everything in his power to ensure there’s a bottom-up commitment to this culture.

A culture of fearlessness powered by no-code

Central to Andi’s efforts to establish this fearless culture of relentless innovation and efficiency is the widespread use of no-code platforms to empower even non-technical employees to build solutions wherever they see fit.

Andi explains:

In fact, since Andi also actively tracks engagement with the tools he provides to ensure his people love using them, he knows for certain that more than half of the over 400 employees at FINN are currently using Make’s no-code automation on a weekly or monthly basis.

For a technologist like Andi, this emphasis on taking advantage of no-code is in line with FINN’s mantra of ‘“Do it, do it, automate it”’. It is this strong belief in the value of automation and the importance of pursuing efficiency that have helped Andi build such an enviable culture at FINN. It’s also why this dynamic, young company has been able to establish such a strong position for itself in both Germany and the US car subscriptions markets.

Armed with this mindset and these tools, there’s no telling how far their courage will take them.
