Bio
João Cury
Lukas is a very inspiring leader and I had the honor to work with him for many years at Wunder Mobility. I was constantly impressed by his focus and commitment to results. He has an incredible capacity of building great things. He set up Wunder Mobility's Commercial Team from the ground and hit all the targets along the way. He created the Wunder Mobility Summit which become one of Wunder Mobility's most important marketing channels. On top of that, he always had a positive, encouraging force and brought great energy anywhere he went.
