Summary

An optimistic person with strong self-confidence, creativity and a high level of initiative. I believe that everything you really want in life is achievable. I don't shy away from decisions or risks. I place great value on honesty and authenticity in expression and behavior. And another thing: I'm eager to learn, flexible and resilient. I set my own goals and reach them, deliver a lot, view stress positively, plan and organize well, and fully commit myself. Throughout my long career, I've often taken on projects that project teams had given up on, and I've successfully completed them all. I enjoy organizing, creative teamwork, analytical thinking, and solving problems systematically. Working purposefully with maximum dedication is my top priority! My professional and life experience, along with a well-developed talent for communication and dealing with people, make me successful. I have also maintained my ability to work in a team. In addition to professional skills, enthusiasm, willingness to learn and flexibility were crucial for my career advancement. I am looking for a leadership role that challenges my skills, offers room for maneuver and development opportunities, a position where I can apply and further develop my leadership qualities; a company I can identify with.
