Those who know me know that I love being on stage. Not always in the spotlight, but rather steering in the background. As a bass guitarist, I fulfill that role as well. The bass may not be the most prominent instrument, but when it is missing, you notice it immediately. I also like that position in my work. What I love about music is that it gets better together. In a band, you have to be perfectly in tune with each other. Good interplay creates a great performance. At GreenTrust, we are committed to teamwork and collaboration to achieve the best results. And what’s totally awesome: we have our own company band, The Big Announcement, with colleagues. A reflection of the fun and team spirit in our company.

Expertise: Process-oriented, forward-thinking, founding-father, specialist in developing green energy projects and many years of experience at home and abroad.
