QUOTE UNQUOTE

I spent 20 years of my business life taking risks and developing companies in different territories with very different cultural backgrounds, driving teams of engineers, architects and other experts, serving small, local and large global organizations. Through failures and successes, I learned a lot on performance. Thanks to the diversity of my colleagues, clients and other stakeholders, I discovered that behind the cultural differences, humans are all driven by the same ideal and that well-aligned teams can achieve outstanding performance. The risks I took convinced me that the only way to grow personally and as an organization is to get out of your comfort zone. My 5 years in Asia taught me that aligning body, mind and spirit is a great way to elevate both human and corporate performance.
