Why I became an entrepreneur:

I have always worked for corporate businesses as if they were my own. After achieving many goals for my employers, I decided to build my own company based on my extensive experience. With the experience acquired in my field and my determination to always do more and better, I combined my ideas and my experience to build the “perfect” business.

My best moment as an entrepreneur, my success:

For me, the biggest accomplishment was when I signed my very first contract with a well-known business in Canada. The major client decided to believe in me and my vision rather than stay with their long-term supplier.

My next challenge:

I am working to ensure the long-term sustainability of my business. I want to be recognized as an expert in my field, and plan to develop a new contract in the European market.
