About

An entrepreneur that believes the only way forward is to always deliver more than expected. A strong drive for fact-based decision taking, but also thinks that imagination is the only beginning of creation. Well developed skillset due to background in elite rowing, finance, and being the president of the A.S. R. Nereus (rowing club). Please feel free to see my profile below for more information.
