Passion for sales is firmly rooted in our DNA: the founders Andreas Alex and Jochen Gross have 30 years of sales and marketing experience and have specialised with ALEX & GROSS in fully exploiting classic and innovative sales channels for their customers. A wide variety of project volumes and disciplines can be covered due to the international distribution of the company’s locations and the pooling of expertise in four business areas.
With Andreas Alex and Jochen Gross, the company has two full-blooded businessmen at the helm. Both have been working together in a variety of situations for 25 years. In 2020, the former companies of the two businessmen, AXIVAS (CEO Andreas Alex) and AJANDO (CEO Jochen Gross), merged to form ALEX & GROSS. The new company is launching a strategy to offer holistic, fully digitised 360° sales solutions, which is virtually unique in Europe.
Andreas Alex, born in 1969, is Managing Partner and CEO of the ALEX & GROSS Group. Andreas was CEO of Axivas GmbH for many years and has more than 10 years of experience in the ambitious private equity environment. There is no doubt: he is an economist, sales expert and entrepreneur by passion. The holistic customer understanding and the personal basis always as a natural focus of his actions culminates his entrepreneurship in the establishment of the ALEX & GROSS GmbH alongside his former business partner Jochen Gross.
Jochen Gross, born in 1974, is also Managing Partner and CEO of the ALEXALEX & GROSS Group. He has already worked with Andreas Alex in the past: both entrepreneurs founded ALEX & GROSS Communications GmbH in 1998. After a few years, Jochen seized the opportunities of digitization and founded the digital agency ajando, which recently merged with the telesales company Axivas and is now part of the ALEX & GROSS Digital GmbH within the ALEX & GROSS Group. Goal-oriented entrepreneurship and enjoyment of digital progress are part of Jochen’s DNA and base for the perspective growth of ALEX & GROSS.
Employees at ALEX & GROSS take their responsibility towards the company very seriously and identify with the values of ALEX & GROSS. We maintain an open and valued approach both with customers and with each other. Respect, trust, openness and tolerance form the basis of any cooperation. People with different backgrounds, different talents and different views work at ALEX & GROSS. We are proud of this diversity because it constantly gives us fresh impetus and therefore constitutes an important part of our identity.
We are the ALEX & GROSS family. Every employee – whether an intern or the CEO – contributes to the success of the team by providing positive energy and ideas. Thanks to this team spirit, everyone enjoys working here – we love our jobs and that inspires us all. Our customers notice this and they also see it through the measurable results that we deliver to them. We are individualists, but we create exceptional solutions only as part of the team and our customers are part of this success team.
Innovation is deeply rooted in our DNA. We like to think outside the box and find new solutions in this way. We combine two things and use them to the advantage of our customers: new technologies and new ideas. Both of these do not happen by chance; we work hard to create first-class services and solutions for our customers. We are passionate about this and it is the reason why we get out of bed in the morning. Getting a little better every day – that’s our goal and that’s our approach.
Every customer project means a challenge for us to do our best. We don’t enjoy delivering standard solutions, we carefully think about the customer’s goals and don’t settle for the first solution that comes to mind. We think big because our success and the success of our customers depends on our attitude – on the high demands that we place on ourselves. It is only because we demand the seemingly impossible from ourselves that we succeed in achieving the impossible. This means that ALEX & GROSS is always one step ahead towards the future.
