About

My career has provided me with a broad cross functional experience along the whole "value chain", from business development and sales, product / project (on CSO level) to finance and contract management (on CFO level). In particular, I gained substantial experience in management international growth (APAC, MENA, Skandinavis and LatAm) and leadership of multinational and multicultural teams. Being an entrepreneur with passion by creating sustainable growth, I am customer focused and business result driven, passionate and able to touch both peoples' hearts and minds!
