The five minute interview: Tammo Rennies

Every once in a while Thomasenmadrid publishes a short interview with one of the Key figures of my life here in Spain. This week it's the turn of Tammo Rennies (27) hailing from Oldenburg, Germany. Now he resides in London with his Spanish girlfriend but was very important to me – and for office morale in general – during my internship at a well-known internet mobility portal. I will never forget when we were struggling to fold massive carton boxes into a recycle bin and a small group of onlookers started to form. Sweating and visibly annoyed Tammo snapped angrily “have you never seen an intern before?!”. The group shuffled away. His answers are short, but to the point, perfectly painting the picture of a man on a mission.

The first time I saw Thomas was: At Just Landed Global Headquarters in Madrid

My favorite place in Madrid is: On a terrace in Malasaña

Something I say too often is: I am not in the mood

I am not a politician, but: hungry for cash

People know me from being a lazy bastard, but in a truer life I would be: a business philosopher

If I weren't talking to you right now I would be: chilling somewhere

Normally, my breakfast consists of: cigarette, coffee, newspaper and a king size plain chocolate cookie, not the other way round!

I passionately have confidence in: developing business ideas, unlike to put them into action.

At the moment the most played on my MP3 player is: not in possession

In moments of weakness I: focus on my roots and look forward

I'm good at: autosuggestion

I'm very bad at: discipline

The ideal night out is: the night in with friends

In a nutshell, my philosophy is this: Todo se reduce a querer y se quieran.
