My strengths include analytical and strategic thinking, as well as the development of clearly structured plans. I approach problems with an entrepreneurial and solution-oriented mindset, and I have extensive experience negotiating with domestic and international clients, as well as with politicians, authorities, agencies, and other stakeholders. Despite being a specialist, I have maintained a broad, generalist perspective.
