Lynjewelry

The brand lynjewelry was my first entrepreneurial experience, 
I sold Lynjewelry March 2014.

Founder

I'm an ambitious C-level leader with over 10 years of experience in a high-growth environment; I've demonstrated excellent capabilities in funding, operations management, analytics, sales, strategy, business planning, talent acquisition, early stage finance, liquidity forecasting, leadership, and product strategy.

Only the best possible results can satisfy me; I'm never happy with an indifferent result. I believe in the power of building the right team and that great companies are built by great people. In a hyper-competitive world, the chase for talent has never been a more bloody battlefield; hence building culture and bringing on the right talent is paramount to any success.

My key traits:
- Initiative - I'm a doer
- ambition - I always strive for the best
- result orientated - I focus on tangible outputs in measurable and quantifiable terms.

My five biggest forces are:

1. My strategic mind
2. My natural ability to develop my surroundings. Trying to get the best out of my employees.
3. My ability to coordinate small as well as big projects
4. My ability to inspire and create following from peers, stakeholders, investors, etc.
5. My problem-solving capabilities, good under pressure, and at finding solutions on the spot when needed.
