I am looking for a project manager position to continue the work I have been doing for the last 8 years. I enjoy owning a project and being responsible for the interactions with the external and internal customers. I have managed two very different product lines with multiple projects, becoming fluent with the product’s technical and commercial aspects even though neither matched my core competencies at the time I took over. I am a quick learner and I get passionate about what I do.
