Portrait of Oussama Boudmarh

I build international partnerships and commercial relationships for platforms, marketplaces and brands — across Germany, France and Southeast Asia. Most recently at Sponsoo in Hamburg: internationalization owned end to end, 100+ brands signed and onboarded, a six-figure deal closed.

About me

The pattern is the same each time: I get sent somewhere a company has no traction, and I find the way in. I have done it from Hamburg, Berlin and Kuala Lumpur, for markets from France to Southeast Asia — in French, Arabic and English, with German on the way.

From the people who managed me directly

Oussama directly reported to me during his time at Sponsoo. I have gotten to know him as a versatile and diligent team worker who always delivers good results. He is smart, organized, and a good communicator. The combination of these skills enable him to perform well in a wide variety of functions.

If I had the opportunity to work together with Oussama again, I would do so without hesitating for a second.

Andreas Kitzing Andreas Kitzing CEO, Sponsoo Managed Oussama directly · June 2025

I had the pleasure of working with Oussama as his team lead, where he was responsible for onboarding new French shops to our online platform. He was reliable, responsible, and proactive in building his client pipeline and reaching out to potential partners. Oussama worked well both independently and in a team, was always open to new challenges, and learned quickly. I would gladly recommend him as a valuable addition to any team.

Monika Elzbieta Swatowska Monika Elzbieta Swatowska Team lead, Ladenzeile Managed Oussama directly · October 2026

Oussama Boudmarh is reliable, a good strategic thinker and problem solver. … His multi language skills are a big advantage over others. Most important is his skills of building networks and relationships are fenomenaal, especially having cultural skills that few people have, assisting him to influence people in his network.

It has been a pleasure working with him and I know he is successful in whatever he does. I believe in him.
