"I’ve been working with Martin Betz for 4 years, and I can say we have actually been shaping our Product Department together. He has been a key sparring partner for all our strategic decisions, and a leading driver for all past changes: adapting and growing our Product organization, improving our methodologies, and changing the mindset to a Outcome-driven approach. Martin stands out for his methodical approach to problem-solving. His decisions are based on deep data-driven and insight-driven approach. He always thinks twice before he speaks and constantly add value to the discussion. No bullshit mentality :). I was also particularly impressed by his ability to go constantly beyond his role. For instance, his deep technical understanding despite a non-technical background. Or his ability to quickly integrate new trends, such as his expertise in AI, which has been extremely useful for our org. He quickly took the role of AI expert in our Product community, leading several platform transformation thanks to it, and popularising complex knowledge for the rest of the team. Martin is also a strong leader who focuses on the development of his team. He encourages continuous learning and growth, often providing mentorship beyond his direct reports, mixing two important aspects of management: thoughtful feedback and genuine care. Our collaboration has been a real pleasure and we owe a lot to him. Thanks for everything you did!" (Romain, Director@Visable and manager - 2024)
