I believe great ideas need knowledgeable execution to come to life.
I love the execution.
I won’t tell you excuses, I’ll make it happen.

My Philosophy & Work Ethic

My superpower is to be the pragmatic but empathic interface between different departments – highly adaptive to change. I am an organizational mastermind and problem solver, always thinking one step ahead.

My core strengths are empathy and communication. As trivial as it may sound, next to fancy tools and techniques – I do believe the success in leadership and building relationships reveals in how we listen, communicate and understand people’s needs.
