I am an experienced entrepreneur and business developer with passion. My strengths include conceptual and goal-oriented work as well as my outside-in focus. Scaling IT companies is my passion and is also what I do best. In addition, I would describe myself as an honest, loyal, respectful, and humorous person, with a high resilience and frustration tolerance.
Let's get to know each other.
