Career...
- Several years freelance guitarist in Europe; concert guitarist, chamber music and performed with various ensembles and orchestras, wrote articles published in periodicals / CD booklets. Teacher (music-history, guitar), now and then working in music shops in various cities in Europe. And always writing music.
- 20-odd years in business… going there from music / freelance was “rather” a career change. I started @ IBM back in the nineties pioneering the Internet, grew into various Management positions and then Finance, in the meantime having moved company to AT&T. Business life can really be a lot of fun, certainly when one gets to learn and develop (oneself and the business) the way I have been privileged to do. Throughout I had the pleasure of working with so many talented and skilled colleagues.
- And alway writing music, sometimes recording it, sometimes jotting down scribbled lines on pieces of paper. As per 2020 I am little by little finishing it, publishing it - hence this website.
Born 1961, lived / studied / worked in Sweden, Greece, France, presently in Amsterdam the Netherlands. Other activities parenting, gardening, reading, cooking. Multilingual English - Dutch - French - Swedish.
