Über mich

20 years of management experience, built up in various industries has given me a broad view on dealing with people, teams and cultures. Having traveled and worked in 60+ countries, lived in 4, I discovered that in all these places, however different, I could apply three of my personal principles. Simplicity - it always pays of to make doing business easier Communication & feedback - most critical aspect in teamwork Diversity & Modesty - meaningful discussions and true listening bring better decisions. Work experience: Industry – Chemicals, Paints/Coatings/Inks, Packaging Geography – All continents, skewed towards Europe with a sweet spot for India Management – Business management roles in corporate environments StrengthsFinder: 1-Context 2-Positivity 3-Achiever 4-Ideation 5-Adaptability
