Harald Schiffauer is new "Sales Director E-Commerce Europe"

Europe’s leading shopping platform launches new sales structure to further development of international e-commerce partnerships

Munich, 28th July, 2008 – Harald Schiffauer, 38, takes on newly-created role of “Sales Director E-Commerce Europe” at the Ciao GmbH, the leading shopping and consumers’ opinions portal of Europe*, (i.e. ciao.co.uk in Great Britain). Schiffauer joins Ciao from Pangora, the provider of product search and price comparison technology, where he was “Director Shop Business“.

In his new function Schiffauer is responsible for the pan-European development of the e-commerce partnerships for all Ciao platforms: in Great Britain (ciao.co.uk), Germany (ciao.de), France (ciao.fr), Italy (ciao.it), Spain (ciao.es), the Netherlands (ciao-shopping.nl) and Sweden (ciao.se).

Apart from the cross-national support of existing shopping partnerships, the main responsibility of his position includes the development of Ciao’s European-wide network of online merchants. The 38-year-old leads a 26-person team across seven countries and reports directly to Stephan Musikant, Managing Director of Ciao GmbH.

Stephan Musikant, Managing Director of Ciao GmbH: “With Harald Schiffauer we have brought on board a distinct expert in the field of e-commerce. With his long-standing experience in the international shopping distribution industry, he is the ideal sales executive to help customers understand that the high quality information contained in our consumers’ reviews portal is an essential differentiation from the pure price comparison portals in the market.“
