“Martin is among the most dedicated, hard-working, and passionate professionals I have ever worked with. He got involved in PayPal Here at the very beginning, when it was being conceived as a product and as a business line. At first working on PayPal Here was his "night and weekends" job, then part of his official job, and then his full-time job as a leader of a team. Martin managed all operational aspects of the product creation and market launch, and led the efforts to create a winning merchant experience. He was a passionate advocate for the product and its customers, doing everything and anything that needed to be done to make PayPal Here a success. He consistently exhibited unparalleled levels of knowledge, commitment, stamina, and patience. No matter how hectic or stressful things got, he remained calm and respectful of all his colleagues and partners. When the going gets tough, you want Martin steering the ship with his remarkably steady hand!”
