Since falling in love with “vibrations” during my decade as product manager for high end portable vibration instruments, I enjoy working versatile, international, multi-cultural and strategic nowadays as a kind of combined ‘consultant and evangelist’. Learning by doing and working differently on arbitrary tasks low to high complexity tasks which require business and marketing knowledge down to in depth application or technical expertise makes my job never boring. Creativity tasks and exchange with amazing people day by day makes “working life = fun” driving me forward! The real pop in my job is “the truth is in the long-term as in the waveforms ///”
