„Due to the heterogeneous structure of the association I will especially encourage the close interlocking between industry, research and public authorities“, explains Dr. Muehlbauer, „because our members can not find this combination in any other organization: This is an added value, representing a competitive advantage on the market.“ The operational focus of his work within the next years will be active committee work, public presence and cooperations with other organizations.
„The experience Dr. Muehlbauer has gathered in his former positions at the.German Institute for Standardization and the Austrian equivalent Austrian Standards will be of high value for TeleTrusT“ says Professor Norbert Pohlmann, Chairman of the board at TeleTrusT e.V. „Furthermore he has shown at different occasions that he does not dread public appearances, but on the contrary knows how to use them professionally in the interest of his employer.“ Through this communicative strength the organization will win visibility in the public.
