“My job is to awaken possibilities in other people.” — @BenjaminZander Technology and talent enablement have been part of my life since a very young age. Starting to work for my Dad (who ran restaurants and hotels, where I worked in different departments since I was able to run/speak), I was taught to create, execute and cultivate a 'people and business first' mindset and with a strong emphasis on values combined with a sense of optimism and curiosity. Everything I do centres around what customers actually want; being it either serving them with a nice meal or to provide a comfortable accommodation in one of our hotels or, later in my career, to deliver a highly complex, multi-towered ICT project & to lead highly diversified global teams. This customer centric ‘obsession’ has cemented itself in my overall approach to corporate life as it is underpinned by a strong believe in my people and our joined commitment to profitable growth. My expertise is the ability to bring the best out of people by motivating/steering individuals to achieve more than they thought was possible. My ability to focus on the details as well as the bigger picture (pls refer to my project work) and embracing the spirit of collaboration across global organisations, top off my profile. I am a highly motivated self-starter, very results-oriented (successful performance record in delivering benefits across several business operations within various companies), with deep industries expertise (> 20 years) and extremely well liked by clients, partners and colleagues. So please feel free to get in contact if you would like to connect and learn more about me.
