Manuel has a rare combination of talents and skills to envision and implement "what could be" leading to business success: he's a strategic driver of over-arching business needs, analytical to tackle current and potential issues, product-minded geared towards the customer with a savvy technical programming knowledge, competitor for sales growth and truly values and develops people.
 
We worked very closely together at simplesurance, a platform for simple access to insurance, to grow the business and people, while establishing needed process and culture. When developing the new digital broker business in stealth mode, it was like watching a kid in a candy store go from idea to product design to technical development to testing to iterating and then bring to market. Manuel wore many hats at simplesurance to jump in when a leader was needed in functions such as product, sales, performance marketing, customer care, design, PR, tech customer support and new business launch. I greatly appreciated Manuel's direct manner, his quick wit, ability to apply feedback, positivity and entrepreneurship spirit. If our paths cross again, I would definitely work with Manuel.

As the CFO of the YOC-Group I'd worked closely with Manuel as he lead as the CEO our performance marketing company belboon-adbutler GmbH. With his impressive management skills Manuel ran one of the group's most profitable companies and was able to over perform year-by-year. His strength in forecasting and managing his P&L were as impressive as his ability to build a high performing and motivated business team. Manuel was mainly accountable for the integration of a bought company into our existing structures and business and he did an exceptional job. I can highly recommend Manuel to anyone seeking a very skilled and versatile executive manager.

Manuel is a leader that is able to move an organization to action. He does this through his unique competence in succinctly defining a strategy and key objectives as well as executing diligently and delivering results. His character and style of driving constructive change is done through positive collaboration with employees while coaching them to think deeper to find real causes not just symptoms.

I have worked with Manuel over the last 24 months and see him as someone who not only gets things done but has an eye for more than the obvious. Very often, the hidden dynamics are the root cause of organisational dysfunction and with an individual like Manuel onboard you have the capability to amend, resolve or fix it. Look forward to working with him again in the very near future.

Manuel is definitely an expert in the area of digital advertising: mobile and online. His deep understanding of the business models as well as excellent technical know-how result in visionary product ideas and the ability to spot business opportunities very early. Manuel's analytical, pragmatic thinking and strong focus always proved very valuable when solving complex problems or navigating through difficult business scenarios. He always keeps setting bold goals for his teams and himself, which enables individuals as well as the whole organization to grow. At the same time he deeply cares about his people and is supportive of his employees.
I highly recommend Manuel to anyone looking for an experienced executive to bring the organization to the next level, especially in the area of digital advertising.

Working for Manuel at belboon was always a pleasure. Manuel has been one of the best and most reliable sources when it comes to the topic of affiliate marketing. Due to his exceptional knowledge of the affiliate market space and his strong communication skills, he is not only a great negotiator and business man; but also exhibits an excellent way of evaluating and discussing complex topics of online marketing. All of these aspects plus his deep technical understanding have made him a relevant reference for me until today. I can highly recommend Manuel to any potential partner or client.
