My Story
What It's All About For Me
I cultivated the foundation of my expertise in the dynamic world of technology, where possibilities seem limitless. While immersing myself in the pursuit of innovative technological solutions, I often wondered whether the emphasis on people and culture behind this transformation had inadvertently diminished—a perspective that felt concerning. Recognizing the intrinsic importance of both technological advancements and the human element, I prioritize the establishment of socially-conscious processes.
In my experience, I've learned that every endeavor begins and concludes with the people involved and those affected. Regardless of an organization's size, our impact extends beyond the realms of the economy to encompass society, the environment, and individual lives. My commitment lies in comprehending the profound influence we wield and transforming it with mindfulness. We are all participants in an energetic exchange, and I advocate for making this interaction conscious and aligned.
My Path.
My path has led me through various organizations with unique cultures. Having experienced a small family-run business, large multi-national corporations, tech start-ups which have been successfully scaled, joint ventures as well as merging organizations, I seized every opportunity to study the processes behind-the-scenes, the social web, the interdependencies of roles. Sociology has been a special interest of mine for as long as I can remember. In fact, it is the underlying motivation as to why I chose to work on the practical interface of human interaction especially when it comes to melting pots where e.g. cultures, interests or beliefs collide.
I am deeply motivated by getting involved, using my unique perspective to localize potential, not afraid of making changes. Asking the penetrating, sometimes uncomfortable questions to get to the bottom of things to be tweaked while not settling for quick fix solutions or the easy way to reach short term goals is what I do best.
