The Pop in Your Job: Since falling in love with “vibrations” during my decade as product manager for high-end portable vibration instruments, I enjoy working versatile, international, multi-cultural, and strategic nowadays as a kind of combined ‘consultant and evangelist’. Learning by doing and working differently on arbitrary, low to high-complexity tasks that require business and marketing knowledge down to in-depth application or technical expertise makes my job never boring. Exchange and engagement with new amazing people day by day makes “working life = fun,” driving me forward! A key pop in my vibration business job is “the truth is in the long-term as in the waveforms ///”.
