About Me
newTask stands for a network of creative ventures.
Wolfgang Frohner is the owner of newTask and has been active as an entrepreneur in various C-level positions for over 25 years.
He primarily leads and accompanies technology companies from their foundation to their exit. The mostly digital approach to problems guarantees a quick, customer-oriented and comprehensible implementation of solutions. In addition to his professional entrepreneurial competence, he also has a human touch when dealing with sensitive and discreet topics. His motto: "I know that purely opportunistic approaches to solutions often do not offer sustainability."
The path to success. Innovative strength, courage and error culture
"Success is no coincidence! Success is hard work. Where you fail, you have to attack - shift into a higher gear. And even if the rest give up, you have to stick with it, tense up and persevere. Never enough, but never too big a target either. Without great sacrifices there are no great victories. We don't hear no, no can't, no way is too far. For only with blood, sweat and tears do you pay for infinity. You say you can't, then you don’t quite want to. Talent is only practice and practice makes perfect. Life pays you back for everything. It all depends on what you are, shadow or light." - (Excerpt from song lyrics by „Erfolg ist kein Glück“ ©Budde Music Publishing GmbH)
Success is crowned by diligence, courage, innovative strength and a culture of mistakes that turns shadows into light. Being an entrepreneur means realising one's dreams and thus treading often rocky paths.
„It is a great advantage in life to make the mistakes you can learn from as early as possible.“
And yet you don't have to make all the mistakes yourself in order to mature. This is exactly where we come in with our corporate support.
Our promise:
Wolfgang Frohner: "I have 25 years of blood, sweat and tears as an entrepreneur behind me, but above all indescribable, formative experiences of success. That's why I can give you a lot of support that will help you to achieve your goals.
Without sacrifices there are no great victories. Celebrating victories, however, is an indescribable feeling! I will help you with that and will be happy to share my victories with you."
My experience is your advantage.
