About Me

Exploring The World And Its Possibilities.

I travelled the world from a young age and was fortunate to discover what makes each country fascinating, while also witnessing inequalities in education, industry and infrastructure.

My education equipped me with the hard skills and tools to understand the mechanisms underlying economies and the forces that shape them.

My path forward is tied to organisations that drive change, foster innovation and create prosperity.

I am driven by a desire to optimise the status quo. I approach tasks with energy, thoughtfulness and persistence.

On a more personal note

I am an active person with a variety of interests, particularly in sports and the arts. 

I did gymnastics and running in my earlier years and shifted to tennis and yoga during adolescence. I also enjoy water sports, especially surfing, as well as skiing in winter. When I am not practising myself, I am a passionate non-professional cheerleader.

My artistic side finds expression in furniture restoration, woodworking, architecture, stage design and modern art. I enjoy an evening at a vernissage and durable, high quality goods.
