Economist with an MBA, a member of top management in organisations with more than 500 employees in the automotive retail industry. Youngest winner of diamond badge by VW AG. My parents have been connected to cars throughout their whole career when cars were seen as something way different than today a symbol of freedom, travelling, and an object of desire. I was growing up running around car saloons 40 years later, the situation is the same; I am still surrounded by cars that are still the main source of my inspiration.
