With my direct collaboration style and accessible nature, I ensure a transparent information flow and realizing opportunities. My passion is people empowerment and the transformation of corporate practices and strategies. I think, the change is the place to be. This stays true ever since I worked as project manager, requirements analyst, team leader and agile coach. Today, I do my part working on the soft (implicite, shade, vague, subtle) side of businesses, because I think that the hard (clear, structured, obvious, cristalclear, explicite) stuff is just the tip of the iceberg of development and opportunities.
