Origin Story
From alias to company.
Two different paths, but one shared goal. Sascha Kirchhofer comes from enterprise consulting, René Noethen from finance in the welfare sector. What unites them is the conviction that technology should solve problems, not create new ones. Different disciplines, same mindset.
The Name
An alias from the early days.
Now a promise.
Sascha Kirchhofer has used the name EFINITI since his youth, first as an alias in games and internet forums. A coined term that nods to the English word for infinity but stays its own thing.
E-Commerce, Finance, Intelligence, Neuronal, Information, Technology, Innovations. The name always left room for what comes next. And the goal was clear from the start: the EFINITI GROUP.
