Thomas Widmann’s Summary

Coming from a background in both theoretical linguistics and computer science, I am equally at home in a programming team, amongst linguists, or in a management meeting. Speaking many languages, I thrive in a multinational setting, and I'm happiest when things are moving fast. By nature I'm an initiator, and I love starting up projects and bringing people on board.
