Senior Director Michael Poglitsch, who has held several positions for Sixt since 2000, will head the Global Account Management team. He will report directly to Vinzenz Pflanz, senior vice president of Group Sales. Under Poglitsch’s leadership, the members of the realigned team, some of whom will operate internationally, will be optimally connected for developing new solutions for major customers.
Sixt has already convinced several new globally active customers of the advantages of its service portfolio with its new sales approach, international science, and technology company Merck among them. Sixt is now the preferred mobility partner for Merck employee business trips. The company specifically opted for Sixt because of its holistic, international, and tailored mobility concept and its central support for all solutions.
