In 2013 he moved to the USA to work for a global technology management team. In this role he had the opportunity to interact with diverse cultures in professional settings. Traveling to technical centers in Asia, Europe and America and advising local staff a gave him a good idea on how to approach technical service and application development combined with local manufacturing capabilities on a global scale yet still catering to different cultural backgrounds.
