Converto AG, the marketing technology innovator from Schwyz, is getting reinforcements for its European expansion.
When a company proliferates and is successful, structures, tasks and employees change. If you are a founder, owner, CEO, sales and NewBiz manager in this successful setting, then you know as a professional when the time has come to focus. Matteo's strength lies in sensing the momentum for decisions and taking action.
