“Professionally, my aspirations and motivation are related to how to create an environment in which employees, management, and customers feel as free, innovative, and able to share and implement anything that would add value to everything we do.

In general, I try to focus on the things that matter. I believe that if you surround yourself with smart, energetic, and loyal people, you do not need to impose your own vision of the details in their daily lives. My number one value is motivated and committed people, with a very clear awareness that such people do not need guidance, but rather inspiration. This allows me to fulfill value number two, stable processes and happy customers.”
