I am a creative out-of-the-box thinker, keen on innovation. I can dive into detailed analysis, whilst still considering the big picture and also combine strategic insight with a pragmatic and hands-on approach. I have the drive to make things happen while keeping my mind open. In a group, I will challenge the group to get the best out of everyone to create novel ideas and the best solution.
‘Stay young by keeping on dreaming, stay happy by realizing your most wanted dreams.’
