The tech boss who 'x-rays' businesses

We meet Alexander Rinke, whose billion-dollar company Celonis reveals how businesses actually operate.

We meet Alexander Rinke, the CEO and co-founder of Celonis, a billion-dollar company that started life as a university project between three friends.

We learn how the Munich-based company raised capital like a Silicon Valley startup without ever having to go to Silicon Valley. And we hear how its pioneering "process mining" idea, which he likens to "x-raying" a business, is used by some of the biggest companies in the world - and even the beer industry.
