Uniti

Verena Kitowski

Branding & communications

How do millennials and the next generation of drivers want to buy their car? They express low trust towards car dealerships, their buying decision is made online based on digital media and online content, and Tesla’s precedent has shown that consumers are even willing to buy a car without taking it on a test-drive.

Verena from electric city car manufacturer Uniti, talks about how the re-design of urban mobility also calls for disruptive go-to-market strategies: Selling 50.000 cars online and in consumer electronics stores.

Verena Kitowski is the main person behind Uniti's unique approach to selling vehicles on a mass scale online and in consumer electronics settings.

Before Uniti, she worked in corporate innovation for the largest consumer electronics retailer in Europe, Media Saturn Group.
