About Me

Here you have it. Me. In a very small nutshell.

I am a very results-oriented and entrepreneurial person. I love problem solving, and I hate having unfinished business. Most of my career I have worked driving complex projects as project manager, product manager or general manager. Trouble shooting is my expertise.

My busines education and my technical interest has given me the ability to fluently communicate with both technical and business experts. I can jump in to wide variety of situations and start sorting out the situation.

Most of my best work has been achieved when straightening out sour organizations or projects, and simply managing and coaching people. It seems I have a capacity to bring out the best in a person or a team. I'm not sure how I do it, but I have the tendency to make people like their work.

I have also started a publishing company and edited a book. It, actually, sells quite decently. But thats another story.
