Awakening possibilities in people and businesses

My life so far

I am a global citizen, who has lived and worked in 5 countries and acquired professional experience in 7 industries.

 

I get immense pleasure from turning businesses around, within very short time frames, especially VSE's and SME's. I do this through changing paradigms and applying best global practices, from different industries to local-level needs. 

​

Most of my project focus on cyclic economy and processes, leading to holistic win-win solutions and value innovation. Being fascinated by innovation & Pareto relationships, I have created multiple inventions, new processes, and products and co-developed a new product category.
