Marc Kern
Part-time MBA Alumnus
Co-founder
Implify GmbH
Marc Kern Bio
With his professional background in marketing and sales, Marc completed his Part-time MBA in 2019., after writing an Entrepreneurial Business Plan as his thesis project, together with his MBA colleagues Steffen Weinlich and Florian Schnorr. Steffen, the son of a dentist family, pitched the idea to sell dental implants and related components. The project became reality – all three decided to quit their jobs and start the business behind Implify. Today Implify fully digitises the communication and order process between dental offices and laboratories. Thanks to the intelligent configurator, compatible prosthetic components are suggested based on the implant selection.
