My professional profile:Business consulting: I’m a manager in one of the largest consulting companies in the world and active as a specialist in business analysis.Experience & sector: I draw my experience in business consulting from many high-profile projects in the financial industry. More specifically, I have experience in business analysis, service design, project management, process optimization and strategy definition.Academics: I hold 2 master degrees, one in business & financial economics and another in general management. On top of that I also hold many certifications related to business analysis and project management.My main motivations:I love teaching: One of the main reasons I created this course, is my love for teaching. It gives me a tremendous amount of energy to share my knowledge with someone and knowing that I was able to help that person to reach their objective (even if just slightly).Continuous learning: another reasons why I created this course is because I do love to learn on a continuous basis. I’m a curious person so you will often find me watching a documentary, listening to podcasts, following courses, reading books, etc. Having said that I believe that teaching is just a part of learning which is something I love to do, so there you have it.A social geek: I’m a bit of gamer, I love history, I like to spend time with my family and friends and I love to follow online courses (quite a geek I know…)
