Background: I am an entrepreneur driven by passion. Starting without investors, I built a company specializing in automation for production and logistics. I independently acquired large clients and strongly competed with major companies without an investor, and I take great pride in that achievement. I value traditional principles and am not a fan of the wasteful spending often seen in startups. Terms like cash flow are clear to me, and I understand the difference between revenue and profit. I am looking to gradually step back from my current company and am seeking new challenges. I'm particularly interested in long-established businesses, especially in traditional sectors like production, that lack a successor. I am a strategically-minded individual with a strong focus on sales and values. At the same time, I am very hands-on and a doer.
