Max-Michael Mayer

Max-Michael Mayer

Managing Director & Founder

Max provides the laser-like focus you would expect from a German trained in banking: With one eye on the bottom line and the other on the clouds (cloud computing, that is) he steers the company’s sales and marketing divisions through the choppy waters of the software-startup sea.

Somehow in the spare time that we didn’t think he had, Max loves to ride his mountain bike and to go camping and hiking (his favorite National Park is Mt. Rainier) and his neighbors will testify that he even finds time to belt out Van Halen guitar solos on one of his many guitars.

Michael Wenglein

Managing Director & Founder

Without investors, a start-up couldn’t start up, and Mike is our chief rainmaker. Equally important, as IT director he handles the stuff that gave the rest of us headaches in computer science class. With degrees in engineering, science, and business administration, Mike is a triple threat; throw in his wide-ranging IT experience with high-tech, financial, and real-estate firms, and it’s clear that he had no choice but to found Propertybase.

In his spare time, when he’s not blogging about the latest gadgets in digital photography, Mike can be found chasing adrenalin thrills on the track in his race cars.

Steve Simmons

Sales Manager

As a former Division I college basketball athlete and team captain, Steve brings his toughness, team spirit and leadership to the front lines of Propertybase. Steve has since taken his eye off the ball in order to stick his head in the Cloud. With a degree in Statistics and a complementing MBA, Steve plays both sides of the court by taking analytical and strategic approaches to each undertaking. He thrives on the international business landscape and is a strong advocate of spanning borders with the SaaS model.

From having rocked on his guitars, to rocking his wife’s world, Steve continues to rock…singing rock a bye to his new baby girl.

James A. Ibañez

Customer Success Analyst

Straight out of tropical Puerto Rico and after finishing his engineering studies, James decided to jump into a new world and moved to Germany. He has always had a great affinity for technology and when the opportunity appeared to join the team, he jumped right in without any doubt. Solving problems has always been a part of James’s mentality and joining the support team was a great chance to pursue this. With his analytical and social skills he is ready for anything thrown at him. During his free time, James loves to play football (soccer… depending where your from), learn languages and be adventurous any moment he can.

Ingo Werstler

Head of Development

There are people who did everything years before the rest. Ingo is one of them. Online in 1993, writing his first (nowadays called) Web 2.0 application in 1997, Head of a social community platform in 1999, building a VOIP platform in 2005 and since 1995 being part of 4 Internet startups clearly show his attitude towards web technology. He has a degree in Business Administration and has experiences in almost all Internet technologies. Propertybase is just his next step in doing something great first.

Despite his soft spot for Internet and technology, in his private life he might also be found crawling on the ground with his wife, 3 year old daughter and (soon) baby boy searching for special herbs. If you visit his place in spring, better not ask what’s inside the pesto – but you can be 100% sure it helps you live longer while still being incredible tasty.

Konstantin Krauss

Head of Development

Born in Munich, Konstantin worked with computers, since he could reach the keyboard on his dad’s desk. During his Computer Science studies he discovered his love to entrepreneurship and startups. He won a national business contest by selling the clothes of fashion students online, co-founded one of Germanys biggest online gaming companies and finally sold Max and Mike their first Propertybase company Macbooks. Not without consequences for his career…

In his free time Konstantin tries to read people’s minds as a hobby magician and savors every free minute in the summer by sailing on this high speed Int14 sailing boat.

Doina Fagurel

Developer

After deciding to apply her affinity for solving mind-bending problems to the universe of 1′s and 0′s, Doina’s experience is an unusual combination of technical savvy and human interaction. With a degree in Computer Science, she constantly maintained an equilibrium between her passion for programming, the creativity of defining new software products and launching them within very diverse environments, and her interest in social relations and people management. Always open to new experiences, Doina maintains a flexibility that fits perfectly within an ambitious and dynamic startup company like Propertybase.

In her spare time, she can be found going up the mountains with her 5 years old son Andrei, her husband and their big-nosed-dog, walking through the woods near their home or playing computer games late at night.

Christopher Flöß

Developer

As an enthusiast of Linux, Programming and all things open-source, Chris brings the enthusiasm for software development that it takes to bring ideas to life. He has experience in Server administration, Java, Ruby, C and of course Ruby on Rails.

When Chris isn’t working on our projects, Chris enjoys tinkering with various Linux distributions, developing personal projects, brewing beer and outdoor sports.

Christian Schultheiss

Developer

He could have chosen to become a jazz pianist, but decided to follow his scientific ambitions and went to the university instead. Currently completing his Master’s degree in geographical sciences, he has a profound knowledge of geostatistics as well as geographical information systems. He enjoys getting creative with HTML/CSS and works wonders with Ruby on Rails, especially everything spatial-related.

In his spare time, Christian has discovered sailing to be an ideal combination of his professional and athletic sides. He can also be seen trying to improve his back-hand on the squash court or torturing his piano with chord progressions and licks.
