There is nothing as rewarding as connecting people in order to break down (mental, generational, cultural, industrial or disciplinary) walls. To me, intellectual, collaborative and open knowledge sharing in networks or ecosystems is an incredibly inspiring, stimulating and dynamic environment in which I thrive. Openness, flexibility and confidence in dealing with the unknown as well as trans-disciplinary thinking and communication are qualities developed in part due to my international background. My overall goal is to contribute to ideas, content & experiences that make our future a more open and collaborative one. Moreover, I consider relentless creativity, productive diversity and holistic inclusion indispensable for future solutions, regardless of the field or topic.
