Inspiration and motivation

My motto in life: If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

Why I am involved in the university: During my time as a student, there were stations and people who had a significant impact on my professional future. I would now like to give something back to the university and give young people something useful to take with them on their way, or perhaps be a decisive help.

What sales means to me: The perfect combination as a field of activity for strategy, structured approach, empathy and the daily occupation with always new customer challenges.
