Personal strenghts
- Not impressed by ego nor title
- 6th sense, heart-centered, committed
- Have people look in the mirror with more honesty than ever
- Practical, structured and straight-forward in my approach
- Result-oriented (biggest strength and biggest pitfall all at once)
- Keen eye for cultural differences in communication and management styles
- Can think BIG
Passions
- Playing my quarter grand piano
- Messing around with acrylic paint on large sized linen canvas
- When I’m not catching some proverbial Big Fish, you’ll probably find me in my daily boxing class or in the swimming pool
- Luckiest doing what I do best, challenging others and myself to perform at our best
