Last months (and ongoing for a while) I`m having  a very intense and focused time as (Interim)-Managing Director of SponsorPay.com. SponsorPay is monetizing non-paying users of publishers like online games. I co-founded the company together with  Team Europe Ventures and Janis Zech about 5 months ago. Since then we are on a fast growth path. Some weeks after launching our product we could already announce Gameforge.com as one of our clients. They are the worldwide leading independent MMO-Publisher and have more than 85 million registered users (about 20 m active). To serve customers of that size I`m very happy to have a skilled and very motivated team in place. Having been only 5 emplyoees working on SponsorPay in May we are at the moment already 29 people from about 15 countries – a lot of them are (native) Country Manager for our international markets. So far or within the next weeks they serve: Germany (surprise, surprise ), Austria, Swiss (Thanks Thomas! ), France (Thanks Mael!), Italy (Thanks Francesca!), Spain (Thanks Laura!), UK (Thanks Gaurav!) USA & Canada (Thanks Seamon)!,  Netherlands (Thanks Asbjorn!), Poland (Thanks Sebastian!) , Russia (Thanks Elena!), Turkey (Thanks Afsin!), Sweden (Thanks Per!) as well as some othercountries tba soon… Not long ago Andreas Bodczek joined us as our other Managing Director. While I am on interim base responsible for leading Publisher Relations and Marketing  he is responsible to scale the business and organisation during the next 4 years to come. Previusly he has been CEO of Telefonica Germany where he successfully managed another sales and key account driven organisation – with up to 480 people. I guess and hope it will take some time once our headcount has reached that level
