In addition to the group-wide managing directors Jens Klibingat and Sebastian Schwarz, Sebastian Strzelecki joins the management board as CEO for CleverReach and is responsible for the operative management.

„I am very excited about the challenges that come with my new role as CEO.

As a founding member of Ashampoo Internet Services, from which the sister company CleverReach emerged in 2007 after a change of name, he contributed to CleverReach as a strategic advisor and consultant in addition to his role as Creative Director at Ashampoo, before he switched completely to the email marketing solution provider in 2016. In addition to consulting, he worked for CleverReach as Product and Business Development Manager until his promotion to COO in August 2019. Next step: CEO.

“With his professional and industry-relevant expertise, Sebastian Strzelecki has distinguished himself within a very short time as the right person for this important position. Under his leadership, we see the trend-setting progressiveness that we need for an innovative company like CleverReach,” emphasizes Rolf Hilchner, member of the Ashampoo Group supervisory board.
