Tell us something about your career! 8 What is the main motive? My career began at a very young age when I expressed the wish in my mind and imagined that I would reach a position at the top level before to reach 30 years - where I can lead globally and make a positive difference for my fellow human beings. I was always very ambitious and pursued my goals. Immediately after the army I became a junior project manager, in the next company as deputy chief of sales for a region, at 27 years old already on various boards and members of institutions, with a very influential network of contacts. Hoinser Magazine

Profile Between the ages of 18 till today, I have had the opportunity to gain some leadership experience and have become acquainted with many facets of life, including my fellow human beings, their cultures and attitudes to life. Of course, I also had some envious people and people who put stones in my way and didn't like to see me climb the ladder at such a young age. Today, when I look back, the ups and downs, negative as well as positive, the journeys through rich as well as poor countries, including the several surgeries I had to undergo, have left their mark on me. But all this has taught me so much and made me the person I am today. I also think that some of it has been a learning process so that I can now hold the position of a such a complex global public office I was elected to in 2017 with 29 years old. A lot of people always say, \"wow, I want to hold the position of president and have the influence that you have now,\" but they don't realise that you have to give up a lot of your personal life and your freedom to hold that position. 2.

Hoinser Magazine Because if you take a closer look, a large percentage of people in some countries no longer have confidence in politics, like in the government, because they make promises, attack each other on a personal level on camera in order to get elected or re-elected, but when they are in power, they do little or nothing of it. 10

Based on your experience. What is the main motivation that drives you to organize success as a culmination of your global aspirations? I’m prior military so I’ve had the opportunity to see other parts of the world from a different pair of lenses so to speak. What I’ve come to learn is that we have more similarities than differences and we are stronger together than we are apart. I have a passion to bridge gaps. This passion is innate for me and I’ve understood that it’s bigger than my community or the nation in which I live but it’s for mankind as a whole. We need each other whether we’re cognizant of that or not. 5. Share your message with the Hoinser readers.

The most sustainable human mission is to improve live, to encourage others to always be themselves no matter what, to push themselves outside their comfort zones each day and to embrace“failure” as it is here where we learn many lessons so we are able to more effectively evolve to become the best versions of ourselves possible. To know we all are worthy to live a life of blessings and abundance and to know God unconditionally loves you just as you are not just for what you “do” but more importantly for “who” you are inside as no one but you can make you truly happy as happiness comes from the inside out. Always lead with love and have faith and hope for a better brighter tomorrow. 5. Please share your encouraging message for Hoinser Media Group readers globally ! In order to do something you’ve never done you need to become someone you’ve never been!! Did you know that most people never achieve their dreams because they don’t challenge themselves outside their comfort zone? It’s not what happens in life what matters most it’s what we do with what we have. Have hope and be grateful for al that is coming, dit quit right before the miracle happens...keep moving forward every single day and don’t ever look back as your past is a very poor predictor of your future successes in life, in business and in relationships and love. “Believe in yourself, don’t give up on your dreams and one day it will become your reality.” 21 Hoinser Magazine
