In the case of secondary markets we will operate with reliable local partners who will allow for efficient market penetration through their regional team"- said Kilian Byszio about Flocktory’s approach to international business development.
"I am very excited that Kilian is joining our team to spearhead our rapid expansion into international markets. Over the last 14 years in the retail and ecommerce space, Kilian has demonstrated a strong experience in working and managing in an international context, developing and implementing strategies for entering new markets, and adapting businesses to local needs. At Flocktory, Kilian will be responsible for the evaluation of new markets, development of our roadmap for global expansion and opening of our international offices, including the selection of teams and their training. "- commented Flocktory CEO Simon Proekt on the appointment.
