Summary

My work history has been dominated by work in the health and fitness industry.

I have excelled at managerial roles with focus on growth and quality.

A common theme in my roles has been a strong focus on shared success and growth for everyone involved.

I have come to enjoy the challenge of creating cohesiveness and alignment between the stakeholders I report to and the staff I work with day to day.

The position is very attractive to me, as I have been interested and studied nutrition and health since the mid 90s.

Personally I am motivated by learning and being part of improving the world we live in.

I strongly believe that the solution to the many environmental and geopolitical challenges we are facing are found in technology. FOSS' track record of creating technologies that enable more sustainable effective production is one example of why FOSS looks like a great fit for me.

As a colleague i am loyal and very focused on the wellbeing of my co workers. I thrive on feedback and a strong sense of working towards a shared goal.
