Curiosity has always driven me. As I've grown and evolved as a leader, my curiosity has deepened into a commitment to exploring diverse perspectives, challenging conventional thinking and being courageous in exploring uncharted territory . I believe access to food, education and innovative health care should be considered a human right. It gives people equal chances to chart their own course and live prosperous lives with lasting impact on our communities and economies. Over the last two decades I’ve worked with and for companies that dedicated themselves to improving health and care and to ensure countries are resilient, adaptable and ready for innovation. I combine strategic foresight with a highly collaborative and hands-on approach to execution as any strategy is meaningless if it does not translate into tangible results on the ground. I lead my teams with authenticity, pragmatism and (com)passion, inspired by strong role models and grounded by my values of curiosity, integrity, and respect.
