Skills

As a general manager, with a business development and financial background, I have created stable environments within several (from start-up to stock-listed) companies to successfully initiate and execute change processes.

I am an innovative motivator, flexible and quick-witted, who is neither impulsive nor emotional. I always seek to understand the background behind circumstances and am committed to my cause.
My motto: ‘nothing is impossible’.

I look at things from different angles and assess options while looking forward and maintaining a birds-eye view of the situation. My management style is: ‘empowering and directive’.

My experience within highly dynamic companies has taught me to quickly adjust to changes and maintain my focus in any situation. I love a challenge.
