"This couldn’t come at a better time for us, as we are pursuing an extremely ambitious internationalization strategy. The US is a key market for our globalization, so the support of mentors who know the market inside out and who can help us shape things will be worth its weight in gold when it comes to development."
Through the program, movingimage will also receive mentorship from well-known and experienced leaders in the US tech industry who will provide counsel and make introductions to major technology business networks. These mentors include venerated names within the industry, such as Klaus-Peter-Statz (former President & CEO, Deutsche Telekom USA), Gregor Hochmuth (Co-Founder, Dreams Media and former Instagram & Google Chrome Product Manager) and James Kollegger (CEO, Genesys Partners).
