Professionally, I am passionate about driving management and leadership excellence. I relish challenges in enhancing business performance and organisational adaptability in line with the dynamic and connected 21st century. Personally, I am a bit of a Car and Tech geek. I like cars and I am a true BMW fan. I love racing, particularly Formula One and do a bit of karting myself. I am a technology, Internet and science fiction geek. But I have taste too - I love great design, beautiful people and things. :)
