What does Moving Forward mean to you?
 

When I think about Moving Forward, I think about goals. And the path to get there. On the job, that means solving problems, keeping processes running, and supporting our customers in the best possible way. 

Hang gliding isn’t so different: you need determination, endurance, and the courage to keep going even when things don’t work out right away. In the end, it’s about pushing through, moving forward, and reaching the goal. For our customers, just as in sports.

How do you recharge and switch off?

Honestly, hang gliding is the best way for me to recharge. Up there, it’s just me, full focus, and a true feeling of freedom. At home, I need hands-on projects too. Right now I’m building my own house almost entirely by myself, with some help from friends when needed. And when I really want to slow down completely, I go hunting. Sitting quietly for two hours on a raised hide, surrounded by nothing but nature. That’s the perfect balance for me.

Have you recently overcome a challenge?

This year I finished 4th at the Hang Gliding World Championship. At first, I was frustrated that I didn’t make it onto the podium. Now, I’m proud to have competed at the highest level and measured myself against the best in the world. Work can be very similar: not every service call runs smoothly, but if I stick with it, we always find a solution. Those successes – big or small – are what keep me motivated.

What does good teamwork mean to you?

For me, good teamwork means trust, openness, and willingness to help. In our team, everyone steps up. Even when it’s outside their direct responsibilities. Each of us brings in our expertise, and when things get tough, we’ve got each other’s backs. That spirit of collaboration helps us move forward together and deliver solutions that truly make a difference for our customers.

Which values do you want to pass on to your children?

It’s important to me that my kids learn to take initiative and tackle problems on their own. But also to have the courage to ask for help when it’s needed. That combination of drive and team spirit makes you strong. The same applies at work: it’s about perseverance, finding solutions, and working together with colleagues to deliver the very best for our customers.
