What advice would you give to a person considering a career in the auto industry? I would advise anyone entering the automotive sector to have an open mind and frequently challenge the old habits of the industry. What job do you really want to have in the future? This is the job for me. What do you do to relax? I love composing electronic music and am currently mastering my DJ skills with the help of a professional. I sometimes play my music at company parties. What is your pet peeve? I highly value open and honest communication, therefore, I really dislike it when the communication flow within a team is blocked on purpose and collaboration between teams is made difficult. During the three and a half years this company has been in existence I have had to fire two high-ranking executives because they tried to control information to boost their influence. What was your first car? A VW Polo. Current car? An Audi A6. If you were a car, which one would you be? One that drives itself. 2019 43
