Particular strengths are change management, and motivating and inspiring employees. I feel authentic and confident in this position. Teaching others about the mind-set specific to the marine industries is another ingrained habit. I am motivated and sensitive to my working environment, where I have worked for many years with marine contractors and clients. My leading qualities are my keen, pragmatic, marine-related affinity with technology and my thinking about people management, coaching, close contact with other people and their work, my hands-on mentality, my result- and solution-driven approach, an empathic personality and my ability to work easily at all management levels.
