I started out seriously (Diploma in Law), enjoyed the market economy (management consulting), checked out the political world (European Parliament), moved to the side of the creative industries (agencies) and landed in consumers' minds (BrainBranded Communication©). Today, I work as a lecturer, brand consultant, and mentor – for brands and for those who want to become one.
