Bio
Arnaud BECUWE
I hired Stefan as Favendo’s new Lead of Strategic Accounts. He was in charge of both developing business with existing strategic customers and newly signed partners. Based on his strong sales background with industrial solutions, he became very quickly instrumental to the development of Favendo, signing several significant new clients while structuring our partner business model efficiently. He is results-oriented and down-to-earth at the same time so it was obvious for me to propose him to the board as my successor. And now, 16 months later, I may say, he was the right bet. Keep going, Stefan!

Stefan leads by example! During my time as a Sales Manager at Quuppa, I had the pleasure to work with Stefan in his role as a CEO at Favendo. Together we built a strong and successful business partnership. Stefan leads by example because I could tell how his team was always fully engaged and supportive to create win-win situations and execute ideas led by him. At the same time, it was a pleasure to collaborate with his team and to see how Stefan gave them the trust and freedom to work according to their own ambitions. It was obvious that everybody in his team was always very joyful and determined under his leadership, underlining Stefan's positive and empathetic way of communication, which I always highly appreciated myself. Although he was designated to lead his own team, he still took the time to share with me his experience and insights he had gained over many years in international business and sales. I want to express my candid gratitude for that and would highly recommend Stefan to take on any meaningful leadership position in the future.
