The neustark team

We are currently around 85 neustark-ers, growing fast! We stem from Austria to Brazil, have educational backgrounds from mechanical engineering to commercial apprenticeships, music tastes from hard rock to classical – but all share a common purpose. Oh, and a common love for chocolate.

So who are the faces behind neustark? Start by meeting our leadership team!
