Welcome to my piece of www. Through this site people from my past, present and future now have a way of contacting me. I've come to realise that life is not a test run. "Time is my only enemy" ... So who knows, maybe our paths crossed in the past or will do so in the future.
By day I am the Operations Manager at the Media Innovation Group (MIG) after I decided it was time for a new challenge (Q4 2011) and before that I used to work with Microsoft Advertising which regularly saw me travelling to MSN's Belgian offices and got me a 6-week stay in São Paulo, working with MSN Brasil. You could argue I'm a workaholic, but it's very hard to 'switch off' when making career, successfully running project after project is what drives you to do crazy hours. I do love travelling and so far I've visited over a dozen countries, but I really want to see the world.
At home, I enjoy the company of my devilish cat and my amazing girlfriend. I spent most of my time browsing the web for knowledge (TED!), working on some project (probably while my vintage Sansui QRX-2000 4-channel receiver, hooked up to a pair of wooden BOSE speakers, is playing some wicked tunes), playing a game or watching a good DVD if I'm not out and about. On the road you'll often find me reading a book or studying (languages, Lean Six Sigma, etc).
I am an ENTJ.
My Gallup Organization StrengthsFinder 2.0 profile is : Individualization - Ideation - Command - Analytical - Strategic (hover over types for info)
On another note, I like cocktails, spirits, fruit juices and a good wine or hot chocolate, but I don't like beer and hate cigarettes and drugs of any kind. I know quite well what I like and don't like, and I like discovering things for myself. Two commonly used sentences are "Why?" and "Prove it!" and I very much live by "facta non verba".
Always remember, "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stranger". If you want to know more about me, just ask.
Domo arigato.
