🌏 '''Early career in corporate finance.'''

📡 '''Move into digital classifieds.''' By the late 2000s, Weitz decided to pivot from advisory work to the emerging digital economy. In 2008 he returned to Germany to join Scout24, then an up-and-coming online classifieds group still owned by Deutsche Telekom, marking the start of a long association with the company that would come to define his career.<ref name="ceopress" /><ref name="cv" />
