First and foremost I’m an avid learner and a perpetual student. What most excites me are the new ideas and the new perspectives on the world, be they technical, philosophical or somewhere in between. In fact, alongside with my friends, these are the things that get me up in the morning.

Speaking of mornings, I won't let a day pass by without skimming through the international papers and a good part of the blogosphere. The Economist, Harvard Business Review, Wired and others drop into my mailbox on a regular basis. Non-fiction books on every topic imaginable occupy my bookshelf, in harmony with a wide-range of prose and poetry.

When I’m not working, I love to enjoy arts, fashion, design, sit in cafés and bars and frequent movie theaters with a passion of a cinephile. Though I’m constantly playing with things and exploring new ideas, I still manage to find time for few other passions, namely sports, training, event organizing and public speaking.

I’m both ambitious and creative, with polymaths such as Richard Branson, Jeff Hawkins, John Maeda, Kevin Kelley and others serving as a running inspiration. All this said, I’m also a kind, liberal person with a firm belief in individual opportunities and in social justice – a through and through optimist, if you will.
