The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands
A South African engineer, artist, speaker, product manager, and all-round deep thinker based in The Netherlands. I find tremendous joy when I combine my problem-solving and analytical skills with my creative and expressive attributes. In fact, this balance of analytics and creativity led me to pursue my undergraduate degree in electrical and computer engineering and my master’s in business administration. I thrive in the proverbial grey area! My mixture of seemingly unrelated skills allow me to connect dots where links are not obvious, and to bring clarity in the face of obscurity. I find that product management is great role for me to use this ability to be the glue between different stakeholders and to bring value to a plethora of different personas with varying needs. I am deeply passionate about continuous self-development, lifelong learning, and creating a positive impact on the lives of others. I live by my personal motto that it is never too late to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Countries I’ve lived: South Africa, Switzerland, The Netherlands Countries I’ve visited: Argentina, Bahamas, Chile, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, The Netherlands, Reunion Island, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Swaziland, Switzerland, UAE, USA
