Fun Fact — The Triple Tims
Tim Ringel is originally from Düsseldorf, where both IAMX co-founders, Tim Brückmann and Tim Heidfeld, are from. You’ll therefore be excused to think that Tim was a particularly popular boys name in Germany in and around the 1970s, but statistics shows it was hardly used at all! So it must be fate then, and the rest of the team at IAMX are all highly amused by the fact that we now have 3 Tims on the team! When our co-founders were recently introduced to the third Tim (Ringel), it was a lot of “Hi Tim, Hi Tim & Hi Tim”, which certainly raised some laughter as well as highlighting why we need many different unique identifiers to make up an individual identity.
