How does a good day at Arcplace start for you?

With a cup of coffee with colleagues when everything is still nice and calm.

What do you like particularly about your work?

The variety of activities that can range from reviewing a customer contract to the launch of a new service.

How do you unwind after a day at work?

With the years, I have learned that working until going to sleep does not lead to the most restful nights. Today my unwinding procedure usually consists of a stop at the gym, dinner with my family, fixing some things in my hobby room, watching the news and some reading before switching off the lights.

Please finish the sentence: I work at Arcplace because …

… I founded the company in 2006 and love the possibilities that Arcplace gives me to do what I like most which is to bridge customer needs with the latest technologies together with colleagues I truly enjoy working with!

Whom would you like to meet in person and why?

The author Yuval Noah Harari who wrote the book “Sapiens – A brief history of humankind”. I find his books unbelievable as they summarize history and look at the future with mind-blowing clarity.

What drives you mad?

Waiting.

Which three things would you take with you to a deserted island?

My family, my kite surfing equipment and my iPad (if possible with Internet access).

What couldn’t you do without?

Time for hobbies.
