Personal

I have strong technical skills as well as I like to work with people. Typical, I like to lead small (up to 10 people), powerful and therefor winning teams.

In terms of operation I like to focus on the strategic/technical viewpoint, but I try to keep commercial aspects, sales (pre and postsales) as well as delivery in projects and in a service organisation in sight.

Mostly I like to team up with a strong salesman, who can also handle details of lead generation, brand positioning and product marketing, accounting and tax management, and teams up with me in strategic decisions and presales as well as customer relations.
