The Pop in Your Job
I’m passionate about continuously delivering added value to the business. This is particular true for value provided by applying state-of-the-art technology in order to secure a unique selling proposition for my company. The more complex a challenge, the more fascinated I am. That’s why much of my time I spend with negotiating monopolistic demands. When not busy with negotiations, I support our company in preparing ourselves for taking benefit of new technology like Artificial Intelligence. I also give lessons on Quantum computing. As a result of all these activities, we regularly outperform peer groups in benchmarks on our T&C’s.
