ABOUT ME

I encourage people to achieve their maximum potential and I find improvement as a lifetime adventure.
Driven by passion I always look for the way to do something better. Business and life experience makes me curious and brave to go further and look for new solutions.
Culture of delegation and empowering is a foundation of building a team and we change to build our own way of improvement. Success of my team builds my strengths. I extract crutial elements to create most effective processes and systems.
A quote from Seneca that “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity” reflects my openness for learning new things and exploring new ideas.
I cook with friends and family and enjoy observing that the same principles
