Formal recognition from the Supervisory Board upon Stefan's transition from COO, Managing Director & Vorstand SE at Productsup.
"Stefan has been an excellent COO and next to me the second MD of Productsup. At ProductsUp, Stefan ran Sales- and Marketing Ops, Implementation, Customer Success, Support, Education and Operations. With deep business experience and good leadership he was loved by the teams he managed […] growing talent and supporting his people. He is very talented in creating data driven processes and insights. He has been implementing good processes in order to enable manageable growth, improved customer satisfaction and improved margins […] And on top of that, Stefan is committed, reliable and pleasant to work with.
"Stefan built an amazing organization. He built what I consider to be one of the great strengths of the organization, our pre-sales team. [...] His legacy lives on in everything that we do. And not only was he a great leader and a great professional, but he was a great man."
"Stefan is one of the very few executives I know who perfectly manages the difficult balance between his relentless drive reaching business objectives for his organization while leading and motivating teams in an engaging and amicable style. He is a strong achiever and great team player. I'd describe Stefan as visionary and pragmatic, strategic and hands-on at the same time."
"Stefan and I had the opportunity to work together across a number of merger/acquisition projects during our time together at Qlik. His leadership of the technical Pre-Sales team and deep understanding of the market were critical to driving the path forward with Qlik's product and GTM strategies. This is just one example of his experienced leadership and the reason he has been successful."
"Stefan has built an absolutely World Class pre-sales team at Qlik that provides outstanding support to the sales team around the World.

He has outstanding respect from his team and peer group and is an exceptional professional who can always be relied on."

He manages to lead significant positive transformational change whilst bringing his teams and others along the change journey in an open minded and pragmatic way. Stefan takes a data driven approach to decision making which is very refreshing."
"Stefan is a key senior leader at Qlik. During Stefan's time at Qlik he has transformed the pre-sales business into a highly functioning and well regarded organization. He is someone who has that rare combination of strategy and execution. He has implemented many important and effective changes and the results prove that."
"Stefan understands the business well (the global picture), and he has a good mix of long-term view and down-to-earth feasibility focus. He is logical and structured, his positions are clear, and once an agreement had been reached he will ensure it's executed upon throughout his multi-country constituency. Professional."
