Bio
Matias Bentel
I worked with Max and his agency in several major projects involving pan-regional sports sponsorship programs. Max provided a one-stop solution from strategy and ideation, to implementation across multiple countries in Latin America. Max proved to be a very strong thought partner that very quickly understood our needs and was able to put together a program that exceeded our ambitions. His team leadership skills are impressive, he built and led a cohesive, and extremely committed team to design and execute over 8 major sports events in multiple countries, in 18 months, including the sports agenda, but also a comprehensive media platform, as well as customer entertainment. Max provides word class leadership and execution.

Max and I have worked together for many years at JPMorgan, both in New York as well as in Brazil. Over this period, Max has always demonstrated above average interpersonal skills and commitment. His wit and sense of humor have greatly contributed to foster a healthy and productive work environment. He is also known for his commitment, resilience and team spirit. It has been a pleasure working with him and I look forward to do so on the future once again.
