About

I have the drive to practice a task rigorously, relentlessly, and even in the midst of failure until I succeed. I am tenacious — I seldom or never give up. I also have a strong work ethic and the ability to respect and deal with the inevitable issues. I achieve my goals. If one avenue is blocked, I will find another path to success. I have learned to work smarter, not harder. I have learned to become more effective and via this way I have become more efficient. I develop new skills. Even though I am highly specialized at certain skills, such as communication, creativity and business intelligence, I am good at adapting to scenarios that call for cross-functional skills. I have an exceptional entrepreneurial mind set in me. Whereas people from large corporate environments may tend to be specialized in their skills and single-minded in their objectives, I am equipped to see the bigger vision of all that goes into making a company thrive. I can think strategically and I am tuned in to the “big picture” and the long-term goals. I also know how to put the strategy into action. I strive for balance. I understand that I can’t cheat the system for long and expect positive results. I respect the laws of balance in energy, health, sleep, and nutrition, as well as the business corollaries that will allow me to succeed and to do so not only in the present but for the long term as well. I work well with partners and in teams. I know how to leverage the unique and complementary strengths of each member in my team. I understand that cutting down a teammate or disrespecting a partner will only contribute to an organization’s demise. In fact, I will normally put the needs of the team or a partner on same level or even ahead of my own needs. If you got interested in me, please do not hesitate to contact me!
