About me

Energetic Change-Maker with international experience in transforming companies in technology and new business fields. More than 20 years of Management in Automotive and Medical. What drives me is innovation for humans, sustainability and IoT, with the overall aim to improve society. I really enjoy inspiring teams to achieve common goals together. My team members, colleagues and partners appreciate my agile & accountable leadership and my modern & fair style, on top of the ability to kick start ideas and empower people. What energizes me the most? Healthy competition; it is such an important driver also in my personal life, where I enjoy racing (and winning!). All in all, I am a life-long learner, with a proven track record of successful projects, patents and awards around profitable innovations, reorganizations and cultural changes to modernize companies while maximizing their overall impact. Don't talk, just act. Don't say, just show. Don't promise, just prove. And win as a team.
