Goal-oriented, enthusiastic and multilingual generalist. I value genuine dialogue and collaborative, goal-driven leadership that gives space for managerial work. I believe a leader’s most important task is to enable their team to succeed and remove obstacles standing in the way of success. I prefer to see opportunities rather than threats and enjoy succeeding together as well as learning from failures. I hold a Master’s degree in Food Economics and have also worked as an entrepreneur for over 20 years.
