"We are delighted to have won Christoph - a proven digital expert - for this role. With him and his expertise, we will make our travel offers even more attractive to customers and partner companies," says Torsten Hautmann, VP Digital Sales at PAYBACK. "After the long break caused by Corona, we are already seeing that Germans' desire to travel is absolutely reawakening and that they also want to collect and save PAYBACK points in the process," says Christoph Kirschner. According to Kirschner, it is important to be able to offer the full range of travel options - whether it be flights, hotels, rental cars, vacation apartments, adventure, family, last-minute or package vacations - PAYBACK enables over 31 million customers to enjoy this variety of travel.

As Director Marketplace, Kirschner has been responsible for PAYBACK's online partners since March 2020. Prior to PAYBACK, he was Director Media at the Munich-based agency iCrossing, where he was responsible for media consulting. Prior to that, he held various management positions at the Swedish performance marketing company Tradedoubler, most recently as Group Director, Strategic Development, where he was responsible for expanding the company's business in Asia.
