Tilo Bonow founded PIABO Communications in 2006 and serves as its CEO. Based in Berlin, the agency works with technology companies on public relations, brand strategy, content and digital communications. Its work spans emerging startups and established businesses, including the positioning and market-entry questions that arise when a company expands internationally.
Before founding PIABO, Tilo led global corporate communications at Jamba, the digital-entertainment company. He also co-founded enable2grow, a strategic growth consultancy.
