Business Developer

I enjoy working in teams, rolling up my sleeves together with my colleagues to tackle hard challenges and consulting on problems in the field of software and services.


I believe in the power of collaboration and excel at inspiring people as an enthusiastic go-getter. I have a keen eye for social dynamics and can easily engage in discussions at both technical and strategic levels. I thrive on hard work and perform exceptionally well under pressure.
