About

Engineer’s mindset, entrepreneur’s instinct.

I’m an engineer by background, an entrepreneur by nature and a salesperson at heart. I enjoy solving practical problems, building relationships and turning ideas into real businesses.

My strengths lie in identifying new business and product opportunities, understanding customer needs, commercial validation, sales, global sourcing, and turning ideas into real products and businesses. I combine an engineer’s problem-solving mindset with an entrepreneur’s commercial instinct and a salesperson’s ability to connect with people.

I know how large international corporations operate and what it takes to build something from scratch. My experience ranges from project management, manufacturing and global supply chains to sales, products, operations and international growth.

“We are never in lack of money. We lack people with dreams, who can die for those dreams.”
Jack Ma
