Sebastian always took the initiatives to support me and the team to improved and delivered the client needs. As the Operations Manager, his time was extremely valuable as his position was remarkably time-consuming, he always took the time to brainstorm with me on how we could improve management reporting's and minimize the agents task with the best results. Moreover, he always encouraged self-development and stimulated to think about how we could support the team and enhance the team results. Furthermore, he makes himself very approachable and open for the discussion and recommendation. In conclusion, Sebastian is a reliable supportive leader and always have time for you no matter the circumstances and will drive you to enhance results and self-development.
