Testimonials

Very good digital marketing expert

2017 11.

Frédéric Duhamel - Directeur Commercial AXA Partners France

Carlos is a very good digital marketing expert. The proof is that, during the last 10 years at Allianz Worldwide Partners, I offered him 2 jobs (the first one when I was In charge of Marketing and direct sales in France and then, when I was international head of direct sales) and a long strategic mission (in Australia, when I was regional head of marking and direct sales for the Asia Pacific region). Carlos is very strong technically, always professional and he is very nice colleague to work with. I strongly recommend him to any organization.

Efficient and straight forward thinker

2017 10.

Quentin Poizat - Directeur Commercial Allianz Partners

Efficient and straight forward thinker is what comes to mind when I think about Carlos. I had the opportunity to manage him for 4 years at Mondial Assistance, collaborating on several project teams. As a former web developer, Carlos understand very well the technical impacts of an e-commerce project but he’s also very business driven. Indeed, he participated in developing Mondial Assistance’s B2C / Digital results throughout the years proving outstanding Digital Marketing skills, strategic vision and analytical skills. He’s definitely someone you can rely on to take over your digital activities.

Specific Thanks

Tony McGarvey - Chief Distribution Officer - Allianz Global Assistance Australia

Carlos has a very deep knowledge and experience in driving a strong customer focused B2C strategy and we were lucky having Carlos here whilst our National Sales Manager for B2C was on maternity leave.

Carlos has a lovely demeanour and worked well with his colleagues. He also was able to adapt to the subtle cultural adjustments to our business process methodologies.

Carlos did some excellent work on building our SEO optimisation levers, given we had only launched a new Worldcare site in Tridion only 3 months prior to Carlos’ arrival.

Carlos also played an important part in our team migrating our existing B2B student health site to one that could manage B2C sales of our new visitor health insurance (into AU) products. All of these steps were with little/no budget and we undertook our necessary steps with the focus placed solely on agile execution of opportunistic scenarios rather than that of deep strategic based executions.

Whilst Carlos was here, he also played a important part with the dev of the new « online travel insurance » brand, of which the site has not been touched in 5+ years and is expected to be launched mid May.

Further, and in addition, we engaged in a soft launch of our direct to retail roadside assistance site, roadsideonline.
