ideas
Creativity and curiosity are key. Every project starts with asking questions and trying to find the questions behind the answers. I see this as the beginning of a new or improved product solution.
Not afraid to make
decisions
Managing people and optimizing products is about listening, communicating and making decisions. That’s what I’m good at.

this defines me
Besides my passion for technology I also love the planet. I try to live and work within the planetary boundaries.
My social enterprise Mar-lines uses art to enrich the planet. At the same time it is my way to pay tribute to nature and all the beauty that life has to offer.
