Why Take on This Mission?
“I’m never able to resist a good challenge. When I was given the chance to work with IT for the world’s number one sailing event, I was tempted to fling myself directly into it, Nevertheless, the assignment means spending more time on the road, so both my family and manager also had to have a say in this. Lucky for me, they’re all fans of the race!”
