About
Stefan Neuweger
I work at the intersection of product, market and business in the leasing, loan and asset finance software space, equally comfortable talking with engineering and product teams as with customers and business stakeholders.
Over more than 25 years across the DACH region and beyond, I have built a deep, practical understanding of asset finance platforms, client needs and market dynamics, from equipment finance to automotive leasing. This understanding flows in both directions: into clear product decisions on one side, and into a sense for where a platform should sensibly evolve next on the other.
I am particularly interested in how AI can reshape leasing and asset finance platforms, from smarter origination and servicing workflows to how clients and their customers actually interact with the systems day to day.
