Introduction Welcome back to Startuprad.io, where we dive deep into the dynamic world of startups and innovation. I'm your host, Jörn "Joe" Menninger, and today we're bringing you a conversation that's well worth the extra runtime - in fact, it's double our usual length. 

Joining us in this exclusive interview is Domenico Cipolla, the charismatic CEO of Xentral - an ERP powerhouse transforming the landscape for German SMEs. From his small-town roots near Kiel, with Italian heritage and a childhood immersed in the family's pizzeria, Domenico takes us on a journey through his football-playing days to the wisdom-laden halls of academia, where he attended prestigious institutions across Europe and North America. 

With a candid openness, Domenico reveals the philosophy that guides his leadership at Xentral - prioritizing learning from mistakes, promoting accountability, and nurturing a culture where execution meets data-driven strategy. We uncover the nuts and bolts of Xentral's business model, tailored for the specific needs of companies handling physical products, and witness the company's objective to improve processes and achieve customer satisfaction before eyeing international expansion. Armed with a deep-rooted belief that CEOs should not only set the vision but also foster the right environment for talent to thrive, Domenico shares anecdotes from his vast experience, spanning consulting at BCG to scaling e-commerce platforms and navigating the venture capital scene. He gives us an inside look at his role and alignment with co-CEO Bina, how Xentral got back on track after a period of hyper-growth, and the ambitious plans for team expansion. 

So buckle up as we explore how this leader integrates his rich background into steering Xentral towards an exciting future, how a commitment to culture and the right attitude can make all the difference in hiring, and why there's both a challenge and humor in the quest for the thousands of potential clients yet to be reached. Stay tuned for a podcast episode that's as insightful as it is rich with humor and humanity - this is Startuprad.io.
