Life can be so beautiful. And it is especially beautiful when you are entrusted with a task that brings joy, promises fun, moves you to tears, and you have the chance to visit impressive personalities in their professional environment.

I, Kirsten Lehmann, have the privilege of meeting former graduates of Schloss Torgelow in the film series “Kirsten Meets…” and visiting them in their current lives.

What I experienced during my visits, what I learned about the different career paths of the former students, their goals, and their time at Schloss Torgelow, has been captured on camera by Jens Lange from “flamencofilm.” The resulting films are multifaceted, very personal, full of life, a bit “sentimental,” and there are one or two challenges for me to master.

Definitely check it out, mark it down, and celebrate with me. Have fun!

Episode 10: Kirsten meets… Dr. Klaus Iffländer, CTO at the start-up “YAS.life” in Berlin.

Klaus graduated from high school at Schloss Torgelow in 2002. He then studied business informatics and worked for a large consulting company. After completing his doctorate, Klaus returned to the business world and took a position as “Data Mining Manager/Data Scientist” at an international corporation.

Today, Klaus works at the start-up “YAS.life” and is responsible as CTO for the technical development and implementation of health apps. He himself says that it was a very good decision to leave the world of large companies and contribute his expertise to the international team of a “small” start-up.

I had the opportunity to visit Klaus for a day in Berlin-Mitte at “YAS.life” and was warmly welcomed by him and the YAS team. A film has been created about Klaus, about IT, about fitness apps, start-ups, counting steps, healthy eating, about goals and performance, about hipster lifestyle and hipster food, about Schloss Torgelow, and about brave decisions.

Dear Klaus, thank you for a day full of new impressions, “digital” experiences, and a lot of fun. Thank you for your charming guidance through the world of apps and hipsters, for your ironic humor, for the shared journey into the Torgelow past, and for your heartwarming kindness and trust. It was a “completely feel-good day” that effortlessly defied the icy wind in Berlin and wrapped me on the way to Torgelow like a warm blanket.
