Bio
Karoliina Daniel
'Rising Star' is what comes to mind when I think of Marc. It was a joy to work with him for many years and watch him rise to the occasion with the increased responsibilities of each promotion. Marc has exceptional people skills that made him an extremely well-loved manager. His team always appreciated his willingness to get hands-on with them especially when it came to complex advertising solutions and strategic customer conversations. I always appreciated how Marc professionally and positively challenged and extended my own thinking as a manager and leader. He has a keenly analytical mind, high attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills. Marc is an asset to any team looking to drive impact and growth and he comes with my heartfelt recommendations.

Ich kann die Zusammenarbeit mit ihm nur empfehlen.
