Other

I am self made, and mostly self educated.
I've become what I am today by the "drive" one needs for this. Also the possibility to see, grasp or even create the opportunities. My non-nonsense approach and an almost natural feel for company politics probably helped a lot. I've got the need to provide and maintain a high level of efficiency and professionalism.
These are the assest you get when you hire me.
