Characteristics and Qualities

I am a team player and recognized as a strong leader who can motivate individuals to perform at their best. I can very easy adapt to different situations both practically and socially as I daily, due to present position as Captain and MRM (Maritime Resource Management) consultant meet professional Mariners, crew and passengers with various cultures, religions, nationalities, ranks and social background.

The time with Star Cruises and Dream Cruises has given me a wide perspective how to interpret characters/behaviors which is a great help when building teams and to achieve objectives. Trust and loyalty is valued high.

I am used to work independently with various projects and I see increased responsibility as an important part of the personal development. I am eager to improve, good trouble shooter and I have high expectations of myself and others. I am used to find new and challenging solutions and work daily with short and long term strategies.
