Interests


Challenges are a part of my life. That is what drives me. I find them not only at work but also in my private life. I’m always ready to learn or discover something new in order to develop myself. I enjoy when there are many things going on at the same time and I like to work in a team of people that work well together.

During my spear time I practice a lot of different things e.g. alpinism, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, sailing, jogging, badminton and indoor hockey. When relaxing I like to socialise and to read.
