In November 2024, FIELDS entered into a strategic partnership with Erik Sterck GmbH together with its portfolio company TTNL. The ambition was twofold: to enable TTNL’s entry into the DACH market and to further expand the cloud and managed services capabilities of Erik Sterck GmbH. For founder Erik Sterck, the partnership also represented a thoughtful succession solution, ensuring continuity while creating new growth opportunities.
In this interview, Nicole Grausam (FIELDS) and Erik Sterck (Erik Sterck GmbH) discuss how this cross-border collaboration came to life and what it takes to successfully combine entrepreneurial leadership with the support of an active investor. They share reflections on Erik’s journey from founding a start-up to building a mature company and ultimately preparing for the next chapter.
The conversation also explores how to build and maintain a strong team, how culture and trust shape successful partnerships, and what it is really like to work with a hands-on investor. At the same time, they discuss the opportunities and challenges of expanding into new markets and aligning ambitions across borders.
