CV

Personal profile 

I consider myself an open and positive person that thrives with the responsibility that comes with being independent. My key focus is to find the sweet spot, where the axes of creativity and commerce cross. That is in my opinion where the most interesting products exist.

In my spare time I enjoy regatta sailing in the j/70 class, skippering the boat, and of course spending time with the family.
