Experiences and working focus
Here you will find information on competence areas where I feel at home, a brief history of my business education as well as an overview of mandates where I served as interim manager. And of course you might be interested in my professional background from past activities as an employee, like where I collected my experiences and what positions I was holding.
This shall serve as a brief overview, for more information, I would be pleased to respond to your questions, or, if requested, can even connect you to my clients for you to get their feedback about my working attitude.
Apart from experience that I accumulate through my daily working life further education and life-long learning is important to me. That is why I entered also into compliance education since business regulations and laws keep on getting more complicated, so my aim is to assist my clients also in this respect.
