Henley MBA, MSc (eng) // Leadership is the most valuable asset for companies to success. I have a strong background in various leadership positions in both work and private life. Leadership and managing people are my strengths. My other core strengths are for example analysis, continuous development, planning, implementations, managing change and change resistance and strong collaboration between different stakeholders. I am used to develop and implement strategies and being innovative and willing to search solutions outside of the box. I believe that communication is vital. Only through strong communication it is possible to ensure added value for internal and external customers. Good communication and good relationships are essential for successful business and leadership. I also believe that two important key factors for the success are ownership – “taking pride of your work” – and collaboration – “everyone working for the success of the company”. Both must be an integral part of the strategy. These elements enable us to build a strong and profitable company for the future and to generate sustainable economic, social and environmental values.
