Il nostro team

Andreas Kitzing (CEO) came up with the idea of Sponsoo during his MBA at the University of Cambridge. Before that, he had been working as a managment consultant and a project manager. Andreas loves to explore new sports in his free time (stand up paddling, snowboarding, bungee jumping). As a passionate football fan, he is regularly supporting his favorite team in the stadium.

Christian Kaspar (CTO) is leading the technological development of Sponsoo. As a serial entrepreneur, Sponsoo is not his first successful startup. In the last years, Christian has worked for many well-known companies.

Christian used to be an avid cyclist in his younger days. Nowadays, his focus has shifted to long-distance running and snowboarding.

Joschka Grabb (CSO) joins the management team at Sponsoo as Chief Sales Officer. Most recently, the studied sports and event manager was also responsible and coordinated sales at established sports businesses. As a sports enthusiast and passionate swimmer, the promotion of sports, especially marginal sports, is a matter close to Joschka's heart.

Jonas Lösche (Sponsor Manager) lavora nelle vendite di Sponsoo. Dopo aver studiato media, sport e gestione degli eventi, ha lavorato nella gestione degli eventi e nelle vendite per una casa editrice. Oltre al suo lavoro, gli piace giocare a calcio, a tennis e correre nel tempo libero. Le date di vari eventi sportivi sono anche segnate in grassetto sul suo calendario.

Sebastian Bester (Sales Manager) went through the youth academy of Hamburger SV. After a severe knee injurie, he ended his active career and studied sports, event and media management. In addition to his work in the sales team, he is studying sports management for a master's degree.

Christian Alert (Pre-Sales Manager) joined the Sponsoo sales team in November 2021. After his bachelor's degree in International Business Administration, he put his focus on the sports world with his two master's degrees in Sports Marketing and Football Business & Management. In his free time, Christian can be found on the hockey pitch or at various sporting events, not only in football stadiums, but also at dart or ski jumping, for example.

Oussama Boudmarh (International Email Agent) supports the internationalization of Sponsoo as a full-time employee. Oussama is originally from Morocco and worked in different international environments in Morocco and Malaysia before settling down in Germany. He is incredibly passionate about sports, especially the extreme ones. Oussama loves athletism and played various sports in the past such as football, kickboxing and parkour. 

Maikel Groh (Dual Student Marketing) hat als Praktikant Anfang 2022 in der Marketingabteilung bei Sponsoo angefangen. Nach seinem Bachelorstudium mit dem Schwerpunkt Sport- und Eventmanagement bestreitet er seit Oktober 2022 seinen dualen Master in Betriebswirtschaftslehre gemeinsam mit Sponsoo. Maikel ist großer Motorsportfan, interessiert sich für Esport und kann sich eigentlich für jede Sportart begeistern.

Jana ist sehr sportbegeistert und spielt schon seit ihrer Kindheit im Verein Fußball. Außerdem versucht sie sich in ihrer Freizeit gerne an anderen Sportarten wie Tennis und Yoga.

He has been working in telco for 10 years and now shares his experience with ambitious startups like Sponsoo. David is a football-addict, who played actively in his home club for a long time and even acquired the certification to be a referee. When traveling, he always brings his surf board. (And a towel. Always bring a towel!)

Jenna Ngo (Sponsoo Agent) supporta Sponsoo nell'abbinamento dei partner di cooperazione con atleti ambiziosi. La mentalità imprenditoriale di Jennas l'ha costretta a lasciare il suo lavoro come responsabile marketing per marchi di prestigio per aiutare le startup e i liberi professionisti all'inizio della loro attività. Il suo interesse per l'antropologia si riflette anche in ciò che le piace dello sport: il forte senso di collaborazione. In passato, Jenna giocava a pallamano, ma ora è passata allo yoga.

Maurice Lange (Sponsoo Agent) is a massive sports enthusiast and regularly visits the stadiums and sports halls all over Europe. He shows the same passion for his daily work at Sponsoo.

In his free time, he has been singing in the New Boy's Choir Hamburg for 14 years and actively tries to shape local politics. 

Béla J. Anda (Co-founder and Head of the Advisory Board) has founded Sponsoo together with Andreas and Christian - based on the vision to make sponsorships accessible for tens of thousands of amateur sports people. Before that, Béla studied law at the Bucerius Law School and in St. Gallen, and launched a startup for Rocket Internet in Bangladesh. 

Béla loves active sports. For example, he hiked to the basecamp of Mount Everest or finished the Dublin Marathon.
