Connections

500+ connections

My core concepts are:
- Flow is the number one consideration
- Brilliant ideas do exist in abundance
- It is all about getting the job/project done

I have realized significant bottomline results with retail/distribution and project management solutions for large and mid-sized organizations like Bova, Nike, WE International, Godrej (India) Air France-KLM and ING.

These results were delivered to several start-ups in which I played a major role: VivaCadena, Goldratt Consulting, Blue Jonah, Syssitia and TCE GoFour.
