I like making decisions

Whether it's about projects or people, I find it very natural. As a leader, I have a preference for making decisions based on an informed, rational basis, but I often rely on my experience in the process and try not to be swayed by my emotions. For me, it's important to be professionally competent, but I don't need to be the one who knows the most. I am very confident in my strengths and see myself as a generalist who likes to surround myself with talented people who have different skills. My strength lies in my decision-making skills and my ability to read what profiles and processes need to ensure progress. I see myself as a strategic thinker who likes to look ahead. The big picture - the long-term vision - gives me daily purpose.
 

I set the bar high

Part of my motivation comes from big, ambitious, external goals that only those who have will, dedication, and work ethic can achieve. Another part comes from within - as something perpetually self-motivating - because I always want to be better than I was yesterday. I hope that part of my profile can inspire others and influence them to set high standards because I set them for myself. I am also a huge competitor. I am rarely in competition with others, but always in competition with myself - for better or for worse. Therefore, I also believe that hard work is more important than talent when it comes to achieving results. I would also characterize myself as a logical problem solver. If I find a problem, I dedicate much of my energy to finding a solution. Combined with a methodical approach to structure and systems, I strive to work efficiently day-to-day.

I believe in a close, personal relationship

I have a natural interest in people in the organization - whether it comes to motivation, collaboration, or conflict. In that way, I am driven to work with dynamics that develop the individual and bring the team together. In my role as a leader, I feel it is important to give something of myself and dare to show vulnerability. I believe this creates a stronger and more trusting relationship. In the team, I will therefore always try to establish psychological safety in order for everyone to feel comfortable expressing their expertise in the presence of colleagues. Furthermore, I take pride in being an authentic person whom everyone feels comfortable approaching if they have challenges - whether it is professional or personal.

I communicate directly and honestly

I believe in transparency and am not afraid to speak my mind. For some, I may seem very critical, but I always try to challenge with objectivity, pragmatism, and the common good (of the team, the customer, and the company) in mind. I believe in freedom with responsibility but love being involved so I can provide feedback and development. It gives me energy. Additionally, I think work should be fun and I will always do my part to ensure everyone is doing well. At work, I am therefore more extroverted than in my private life, where I am naturally more introverted and often recharge alone. My steadfastness means that I am someone you can rely on. If I say I will do something, you can be sure that I will see things through. In addition, justice is an important human value for me. As a leader, I will therefore go further than most to protect my employees' interests.
