Bio

Sebastian is a coach, mentor, and friend. I reported directly to him as a Strategic Marketing Manager in his team. Sebastian is an exceptional leader who is deeply involved in all sides of the business from Technology to Business Development and Strategy. He led cross-functional teams from the front and was always willing to jump in to solve any issue and set a clear vision. I learned an immense amount working with Sebastian, he has extensive knowledge, and would recommend him as a leader to any organization. It was a real pleasure working with him and be part of this team.

I had the opportunity to work with Sebastian for about 10 months at CelsiusPro. He is good at asking the right questions to getting the big picture. I resonate with his working attitude: find the solution to the problem and take actions upon it. He also brought structures into CelsiusPro tech team with Agile development.
