My passion, apart from the growth and innovation business, is of course firstly my family. I also find great interest in contemporary art, architecture and our nature. I love spending time in the forest, jungle, hillsides or even 80 feet below the surface free-diving. To me, compassion and inspiration have become lead words. I strongly believe in leadership beyond personal winnings.
