Through all the years that I have been working with companies,
I was able to help with acquiring funds for growth, employ right type of people, develop sales strategies, create marketing approaches, determining R&D bottlenecks and teach organizational techniques.
No matter the area, most often it goes down to five things,
Scaling a start-up from 5 people in a garage to a international brand and a company of 60 people sure is a challenge. Having successfully scaled a company makes you understand all moving parts of a business and growth phases. This knowledge and experience impacts the way I can help people plan their strategy or any other associated action with company development, To convey this knowledge and adjust it according to specificity of the company is an art that is challenging, crucial but also exciting.
You know what they say: "Hardware is hard", and often its true.
I have a simple definition of Hardware. Whenever there is a complex interconnected IOT product that's a hardware project for me.
Managing complexity is exciting and Hardware projects became the medium where I use the managerial skills that I excel in.
What I found after years of working with different companies is that the real challenge is at the meeting point between hardware technicalities company goals, people and asset management.
How did I get here?
I think I need to thank all people that supported me.
Great education, family and hours of self & personal couching,
But also Lego for sparking the joy of building and creating things,
and Civilization games for the love of strategizing and planning..
Managing hardware complexity with a healthy dose of interpersonal human skills is where I thrive and convey most knowledge.
