About Me

CURRENT MISSION

LIFE IS GOOD. SHARE IT.

ABOUT ME

Communicative guy with strong interest in meeting foreign cultures and travelling as much as possible.

In 2010, I strated my professional life in the solar industry and lived 3 years in Erfurt at Bosch Solar. In 2013 I moved to Stuttgart and discover the city ever since...

The years before, I studied engineering and economics at graduate level at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany and went to a business school in the United States to obtain a MBA degree.

I am really easygoing, outgoing and enjoy various social activities (sports, travelling, sailing, cooking, skiing,...).

PHILOSOPHY

There are three simple rules of life:

1) If you do not go after what you want, you'll never have it.

2)If you do not ask, the answer will always be no.

3) If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.
