My day-to-day challenge is strategic business – trade fairs, conferences, catalogues. In my working life I’ve done all sorts of things – structural engineer, programmer, design engineer, businessman, technical assistant, commercial assistant, manager, executive director… I manage several commercial and implementation teams, I supervise the economics of the business, and things which fall outside the business area of me and my partner.

I drive people crazy with my behaviour – I think quickly, speak quickly, write quickly, read quickly, act quickly, I finish other peoples’ sentences, I answer questions which they haven’t managed to ask yet… yes, I’m quick, frenzied even, what’s more I’m obsessed with work tasks and challenges. I think up and look for new business opportunities, I frequently connect things which aren’t connectable, I strike fire from almost anything and everything and what’s worse is that it amuses me. I love challenges. For the most part I design and create them by myself. I’m in constant motion and I meet with an unbelievable number of people.

I have two grown-up sons, a loving wife, whose ability to put up with me all these years I can’t believe.
