Today, we are thrilled to announce that Gerhard Trautmann, CEO and Co-founder of Atolls, will be speaking at this year’s EU-Startups Summit on April 24-25 in Malta!
Formerly known as Global Savings Group, Atolls is Europe’s largest shopping engagement platform, with an international presence in more than 23 markets. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Munich, the company has raised over €74 million and boasts a team of more than 1,000 employees across 14 offices worldwide.
At the Summit, Gerhard will take the main stage for a fireside chat, sharing insights into building a successful global platform that empowers consumers to make confident shopping decisions. He will discuss Atolls’ contribution to enhancing the global digital shopping experience, his preference for the company to be seen as a ‘camel’ rather than a unicorn, reflect on his learnings from almost 12 years with Global Savings Group, and much more.
