Martin Reif

"I had the absolute pleasure of working closely with Martin during his time as Senior Product Manager for Monster Strategic Talent Solutions team - and right from day 1 and he quickly became one of my favorite colleagues at Monster (CB+Monster). Martin has a rare mix of strategic vision and critical thinking, technical know-how and the ability to take a complex situation and turn it into a clear, actionable plan that immediately generates results for our team.

What always amazed me was how fast he could turn a project around… One day we're discussing it in a team meeting and the next day he's hitting me up on teams to share and discuss what works and what needs tweaking. And he was never satisfied with his first delivery (or two)… always looking to perfect it and deliver something that immediately worked for our team and drove positive outcomes. He's collaborative to the core constantly focused on creating or improving solutions that make sense for the business and generate revenue.

On top of all that, Martin is just a genuinely great person to work with. Every meeting was productive but also fun; he has a way of keeping things light and making people laugh, even while solving the challenges at hand. I always enjoy my time chatting with Martin whether about work, sports or whatever the day's topic outside of business would bring us to.

He's truly one of the best and I strongly recommend Martin to anyone looking to grow their team with a results-driven leader!"

"Coming Soon"

"I had the pleasure of working with Martin on our Career Sites product. With his sales background, Martin brings a pragmatic, business-oriented approach to product management. He has a strong ability to quickly understand client needs, translate them into actionable requirements, and keep the team focused on delivering value. His results-driven attitude make him a highly effective product partner.

In addition, his solid technical understanding of SaaS, AI, and web technologies allows him to collaborate seamlessly with engineering teams."

"Working with Martin at Monster was a great experience. He has a real knack for keeping projects on track and making sure the team stays focused without adding extra stress.

What I appreciated most was how he looked at the product: like a customer would—always asking the right questions and pushing me to build something meaningful. He also made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, creating an atmosphere where collaboration came naturally.

He's now my benchmark for what a great product manager should be like."

"I had the pleasure of working closely with Martin, over the course of this past year on a brand new project that we built from the ground up. As the UX Designer on the team, I collaborated with Martin on everything from early discovery and strategy through execution and delivery.

Martin was an absolute delight to work with. He brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, user focus, and cross-functional leadership. He consistently advocated for solutions that balanced business goals with user needs, and his clear communication helped keep our team aligned and moving forward. Martin fostered a collaborative and respectful working environment, where feedback was welcomed and innovation encouraged.

What stood out most was Martin's ability to distill complex requirements into actionable product plans and his commitment to building not just a better product, but a better process. His attention to detail, thoughtful prioritization, and calm under pressure made a significant impact on the project's success.

I would enthusiastically recommend Martin for any team looking for a seasoned, thoughtful, and collaborative product leader. He's a true asset to any product organization."
