Skills

I started my career at the bottom. I always went for new challenges and with every job I had, I quickly achieved good results. People say that great organizational skills, a strong commercial drive and good salesmanship are my best qualities. My style of leading a company can be best described as coaching and inspiring. I am a people manager with social skills. I communicate very easily. I am close with my colleagues, but meanwhile I stay critical towards everyone. I’m a team builder. I don’t mind if other people are critical towards me, but their criticism has to be motivated. Results are very important to me and I am very ambitious. I also like to explore things and I always want to develop myself.

Languages

Fluent in spoken and written English and good at spoken and written German.
Moderate in spoken French.
