Bio
Maik Welland
Mandy is an exceptionally skilled leader, who is supervising teams with the highest level of appreciation and trust. I felt valued from the first day - mainly because of Mandy and her ability to understand her team, their needs, power and weaknesses. Mandy is a team player, with a good heart and strong business visions. She is setting the bars of performance high, but never too high to reach personal achievements regularly. This is personal growth par excellence. I would always take in consideration joining her team in the future, because I do believe that Mandy is one of the best leader out there. Thank you for everything, Mandy.
