I appreciate putting into practice my strategic thinking and negotiation skills with international and multicultural teams. Calm in complex situations, pragmatic with a sense of humor, I am recognized as an open-minded consensus manager encouraging the people to take more initiatives while empowering them behind a shared common vision.Very close to my heart is working with teams behind a shared purpose where products and services with the appropriate business model are part of the equation; after all those years, I experienced, and strongly believe, that People and Customer-focus make the difference for results-delivery.
