Having studied Business Administration and majoring in Computer Science, Sven Lubek, founder of Covus, clearly understood the path that lay ahead of him. Working in the Product Management team of the company 1&1 (now United Internet), he was responsible for the management and marketing of Adlink, Europe’s largest distributor of online advertising space.
As Head of Sales and member of the Management Board, Sven was responsible for the development and marketing of the web portal Lotty.de. The following years Sven was directly involved with the active development of a comprehensive portfolio of domains, the implementation of marketing affiliate programs, and search engine optimization.
In 2003, Sven Lubek founded Covus in order to work cooperatively with businesses in Berlin on the configuration of domains, the development of web portals as well as providing advice to third parties.
A company, specifically one in the consulting industry, can only ever be as good as its employees. The products Covus develops for its clients are highly influenced by the knowledge and expertise of its employees that result from several years of experience in the Internet, domain and web business industry.
Therefore at Covus you will find not only young people with excellent qualifications, but also experienced employees who have bared witness to many trends and developments in the industry, in addition to actively participating in the development of these trends.
