Has the necessary empathy to put himself in the shoes of both customers and colleagues. His experience of both leading and coordinating is strong. Design, Manufacturing and Sales in different continents is normal for him. A personable and amusing guy with international cultural awareness who is frankly a pleasure to spend time with.
