I have a social and proactive working attitude. I like to be part of a team, to inspire and to be able to attain a higher level by combining individuals qualities.
Being analytically minded, I gladly continue working till everything is right in detail, using the facts and resources available to me as effectively as possible. I enjoy challenges and approach them with a serious attitude. Thanks to my working experience I am able to change gear swiftly and act promptly within work routines. I am aware of the impact choices can have and take responsibility for them. I don't make important strategic decisions hastily, but prefer them to be well thought out and grounded.
With these skills I am a valuable link between the doers and the thinkers in the work environment.
