Highly skilled in project management with exceptional communication, persuasion, negotiation and decision-making abilities.
I am an inquisitive, dynamic and social person, and my hobbies reflect it entirely. I have been travelling a lot, including a Sabbatical 2009 in Asia. Travelling takes me out of my comfort zones and places me in a world where senses must be alert at any moment. It constantly challenges me, not only to adapt to and explore new surroundings, but also to engage with different people, to embrace adventures as they come and to share afterwards new and meaningful experiences with friends and family. I am also fond of climbing mountains, it's one of the most rewarding things I have experienced as it leads to find in me untapped reserves of strength and resourcefulness while taking me to places of incredible beauty. Reading is also a "food" which I consume on daily basis, as I find it extremely useful for my personal development and culture.
