Where did you start your career?
In 2010, I started my professional career and worked in many sectors. I started my logistics career at Pasifik Eurasia. Before that, I worked as an International Sales Manager in various companies.

I consider a working day successful when …
…I use my time efficiently, successfully finalize the items in my daily plan, and successfully complete pending tasks.

What impresses me most about my job…
… is the successful completion of a job I have started. I am impressed by the dialogues I have with customers and my teammates while finalizing the job and preparing the ground for another job.

If I could go on a trip around the world, these would be my destinations…
It would be the Far Eastern countries because of their cultural differences and rich street flavors. If I need to name a country, I would like to go to South Korea. Apart from that, I would like to visit the northern countries because of their different climates and lifestyles. Again, if I need to name a country, I would love to see Finland.

I have always wanted to ….
