PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

I am a proactive, commercially, contractually and with career ambition individual. I feel fulfill when help other people to achieve their goal, at the same time, bring each board to a win-win situation. I heavily rely on logic and analysis, strive for objectivity, and are more methodical and process-oriented than spontaneous when reaching decisions and making choices. My background is accounting, but I always put myself into boss’ shoe to analysis the business. I believe only those who has a strong professional knowledge and, in the meantime, know about the business, can bring mutual success for both employer and employee in the long term.
