I have a B.A. and an M.A. from Cambridge University, England and an equivalent MBA from my professional experience as Vice President of an international technology firm. Experienced in international finances, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and negotiations, I have highly developed skills in the area of personal relationships, and am a practiced team worker. I can communicate directly and clearly, both in a written manner and verbally, and am comfortable in different cultural environments (Europe, America, Japan…). Finally, I manifest high personal standards, which are important for me as a Christian.

My studies for a PhD in International Business Management at ISM comprise seminars in the areas of international management, joint venture management, and corporate finance. I am particularly drawn to ISM because of its expert faculty and international curriculum, with the opportunity to pursue academic study in Paris, New York, Tokyo and Shanghai and to make world-wide corporate contacts. The program gives me the possibility of complementing my extensive professional experience with stimulating and invigorating studies from which my students will benefit, at undergraduate and at post-graduate level.
