Summary

I am a forward-looking, solution-oriented facilitator who enjoys driving new initiatives and taking unconventional paths. With my extensive knowledge and methodological repertoire, I confidently handle both strategic anticipatory and tactical operational tasks. I quickly grasp complex matters, but I prefer to empower a team to master challenges rather than push myself into the spotlight. I have a keen sense for picking up on moods and can assess complex situations even when information is incomplete.

With great curiosity, I observe the impact that new experiences and exchanges with interesting individuals have on me.

I enjoy engaging in discourse with others to pick up new ideas, develop them further, and make them useful in the current context.
