As a fan of strength-based leadership, I am also a trained Mediator and a certified Stärkenkompass® Coach. This approach takes Gallup's Strengthfinder a step further by including team Feedback. By the way, these are my 5 top themes according to Gallup: Strategic, Activator, Learner, Ideation, Woo.

With my entrepreneurial expertise, skillset, and insights of a broad range of industries and companies, I possess a deep understanding of scaling, innovation, and transformative technology.
