After holding different executive positions in various SMEs and start-ups across the world, I think that I possess a sound understanding of the challenges that companies of this size face every day from the micro- and macro-economic environment factors alike. In metaphoric English now: It is quite easy to navigate with the wind at your back every day but on the other hand calm seas don't make skilled sailors.
I am also a proud owner of a healthy collection of nicely colored thick papers with my name on them, which includes amongst others a dual MBA degree from a Financial Times Top 100 institution.
