The Pop in My Job
Driven by a passion for globally scaling BI tools and products I enjoy the current journey of digital transformation. Not only because I’m convinced that technology open doors that were closed so far but especially because of being part of a great team of young talented and senior experienced professionals that is the key to open that doors.
