Ruben joined us at a challenging time. With his hands-on mentality, he established a highly professional and high-performance accounting and controlling system within a very short space of time. With his "can-do" attitude, hands-on mentality and appreciative, honest communication, he quickly earned my complete trust.
Agile and scalable processes, a high-performance and integrated tool stack help me today to navigate the company in a number-driven manner at a highly professional level. Together with Ruben, we have successfully completed several rounds of financing. Without him, we would not be where we are today.
