I realized that this is where the big leverage lies in my eyes, 1. the right people in 2. to bring the decisive positions and 3. get them to work together in the right way. I want to spend the second half of my professional life helping companies and entrepreneurs realize their full potential in each of these three areas and teaching my children a (business) world that we don’t have to justify.”
