Stan Reimgen - Co-Founder at Big (ex-Commerzbank, Zalando, Microsoft, Tomorrow Bank)
From launching mobile banking for 1.5 million customers at Commerzbank to building sustainable innovation with pioneers like Zalando, Microsoft, and Tomorrow Bank, Stan Reimgen’s journey is a masterclass in purpose-driven design leadership.
In this conversation, we explore his shift from business school to hands-on design, the power of experimentation, and what it really means to create work that helps the planet - not just the product roadmap. Stan opens up about parenthood, purpose, and why designers need to reclaim their creative fire before the industry burns them out.
