For over 15 years I have been building and leading software engineering teams while coaching engineers through their personal growth and development. I strongly believe in servant leadership and the advantage of motivated, engaged, and empowered people in a creative environment and culture. My extensive tech industry experience allows me to credibly lead, coach and motivate as a role model in words and actions.

Key drivers and motivation
I get my energy from managing and evolving highly functioning engineering- and software development teams. I measure my success in other people’s success and their ability to excel at work. To live is to learn and I enjoy sharing knowledge and learning together with others. After 30 years in the tech industry, I still love every day I get to work with brilliant people on challenging projects.
