Date you joined CGI:
I have been working in the Broadcast & Media industry for over 25 years and came to CGI through the SCISYS acquisition – so I became a CGI member in April 2020.
What do you like about being part of the industry?
Broadcast & Media has a connection to everybody – so working in an industry with people and technology that affect all of us – is interesting.
What is something people in your industry have to deal with that you want to fix?
I notice that the increased flexibility and speed we all see in our daily lives has not reached the industry by now. Becoming more agile while maintaining the quality of services we deliver – that is the challenge.
What are the values that drive you?
Respect and honesty in my dealings with colleagues, partners & clients. Identifying the solution that is the best for all parties in the long run, even if it might be difficult in the short term. Staying curious and open for new experiences – there is always something to learn.
What three words would your colleagues use to describe you?
Experienced sales professional, charismatic, cosmopolitan

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
