Ever since I was a small child, I have had a great passion for cars. So it was not difficult to choose the direction of my studies, first an NT profile (Science and Technology) in high school and then a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. Unfortunately, the studies do not include much practical work. After I finished my bachelor's degree, it seems like the perfect time to join Forze and work with a great team towards the same goal!

Mechanical Engineering introduced me too a lof of, now a days, challanges and showed me how to overcome them. However I was also alwayd intrested in the economics  and the finanicial world were I grew up in. After I completed my bachelors I wanted to combine these two areas of focus.

That is why the the business and operations department sparked my interests and made me excited about spreading the team’s message, design, build and race the fastest hydrogen racecar in the world while we educated about were hydrogen can bring us in a more sustainable future.As Operations Manager, I take on a variety of tasks that focus on two main objectives: spreading the message of Forze and ensuring the team operates as efficiently as possible. This includes attending and organising major hydrogen and automotiv events across europe, secure new partnership, maintain existing ones and make sure the logistics around the races goes as smooth as possible.
