Summary
I am a solution-oriented person with a strong drive to execute and assert myself. I quickly recognize problems in the system, find suitable solutions, and take responsibility when it's time to take the reins.
With clear leadership qualities, the ability to admit my own mistakes, and a good sense for situations and people, I act pragmatically and effectively - and reliably bring things to completion.
