About me

Hi, and welcome to my site!

I have over 17 years of professional experience in manufacturing and operations, where I had the privilege to work with some of the world’s most recognized brands, including Tide, Ariel, Always, and Fairy. Throughout my career, I've built a deep understanding of producing high-quality products, driving innovation, and leading teams to success.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about travel and world history — I’ve explored 33 countries so far and I’m always looking forward to my next adventure.
I’m also a sports enthusiast, with a special love for boxing, which I admire for its discipline and mental strength.
In my free time, you’ll often find me enjoying computer games, where I love diving into new worlds, strategy, and fast-paced action.

Thanks for stopping by — feel free to connect!

My personal values, mindset, and work approach

People are the most valuable asset — Everything starts with the right people.

Fairness matters — I believe in equal treatment.

Passion beats skill — Skills can be learned. Passion can be killed.

Vision leads — The most important leadership trait is clear direction. Without vision, even the best execution lacks purpose.

Perfection is toxic — I prefer quick and "dirty" progress over slow, polished inertia. Getting things done beats getting things perfect.
