MEDIA RELEASE
HolidayCheck Group AG announces change in composition of Management Board -
Nate Glissmeyer to succeed Timo Salzsieder as CPO and Senior Vice-President
Engineering at the HolidayCheck Group
Munich, Germany, 20 December 2016 - Nate Glissmeyer (45) will join the
Management Board of HolidayCheck Group AG on 1 January 2017 as Chief
Product Officer (CPO) and Senior Vice-President Engineering. He will
succeed Timo Salzsieder (47), who will step down from the Management Board
of HolidayCheck Group AG at his own request on 28 February 2017.
Nate Glissmeyer currently holds the position of Director of Product
Management at Amazon Inc., Seattle (USA), where he is responsible for the
'Kids and Families, Digital' division. He has performed a number of senior
management roles for Amazon since 2004, leading various software and tech
teams. In addition, as Category Manager and Director, he has had
responsibility for different e-commerce units. He has been awarded several
patents for his inventions. Nate Glissmeyer studied languages and
literature at the University of Utah and graduated with a Master of Arts in
1995.
Timo Salzsieder joined the company as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in
July 2010. Between 2010 and 2015 he took on further management roles within
the Group, including the position of Managing Director at TFT, the Group's
digital services agency, and later as Managing Director at HolidayCheck
Solutions GmbH. In 2014 he was appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) at
HolidayCheck AG, and in 2015 he joined the Management Board of what is now
HolidayCheck Group AG (formerly TOMORROW FOCUS AG) as COO.
Timo Salzsieder will leave the company on very amicable terms in order to
pursue a new career challenge.
Commenting on the new appointment, HolidayCheck Group AG's Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) Georg Hesse said: 'I am delighted that we have been able to
appoint Nate Glissmeyer, who is an experienced product and IT specialist
with a strong background in technology and e-commerce. I am confident that
he will help us to push ahead rapidly with our plans. At the same time, I
very much regret Timo Salzsieder's decision to leave, and on behalf of the
Management Board and the entire workforce I would like to express my
gratitude for all he has done. I would particularly like to highlight the
successful initiation of HolidayCheck's IT platform under his leadership.
The new state-of-the-art platform provides a strong technical foundation
that will enable us to implement numerous product innovations in the coming
months and years and turn our vision of making HolidayCheck Group AG the
most holidaymaker-friendly company in the world into a reality.'
Stefan Winners, Chairperson of the Supervisory Board, added: 'I would like
to offer a warm welcome to Nate Glissmeyer. I am sure he will be an
excellent CPO and that he will maintain the high profile of product
development within the HolidayCheck Group. On behalf of the entire
Supervisory Board, I would also like to thank Timo Salzsieder for his
tremendous contribution to the company throughout the around seven years
that he has been with us. I wish him every success for his new professional
tasks.'
