About
I am a leader with passion to create digital products, platforms, and new business opportunities at the intersection of mobility, energy, and tech innovation. With over six years of experience in the mobility sector, I have a passion for strategic, long-term partnerships with start-ups, scale-ups, and well-established blue-chip organizations. I have a background in traditional automotive manufacturing, where I gained valuable insights into the change and transformation of the industry. I also have strong skills in change management, business process improvement, and Six Sigma, which I leverage to deliver high-quality results and customer satisfaction. I am a forward thinker with a long-term view, who likes to collaborate with open-minded people, respect, honesty, loyalty, and courage. I am also an angel investor, who believes in new mobility and energy concepts based on autonomous driving electric vehicles, that will change the way we work and live.
