I wake up every morning at 5:30 am and take a 10km run. Obviously, it helps me to reduce stress, but it also helps me think clearly about everything that I need to do during the day.

Definitely Steve Wozniak (Woz) - I'm a big fan.
This man is simply a genius; he actually built an entire computer himself from scratch. Using all the knowledge he had, he bought components, put chips together, added external connections, and also wrote the software to manage it all; he came up with something that would change the world.

Professional book: "Zero to one" - A great guide to anyone who would like to start a business, or company or create a new product.
Non-professional book: “Ender's Game” - Although it appears to be science fiction, it is actually a story about leadership and organizational building.

During World War II, his abilities served as a strategic weapon that helped the British forces defeat the Nazis. Turing, to me, embodies the definition of out-of-the-box thinking and ingenuity.

We identified a burning need in the market for higher efficiencies through better and more viable unit economics - this is primarily revolving around workforce hiring, management, and retention costs, real-estate related expenses, and overall a huge headache in Capex. We’re all seeing the effects of recession around the world - senior stakeholders in just about every corporate and commercial organization these days are tasked with getting to that turning point of ROI-positive operations. Our technology helps businesses around the world reach optimal unit economics while enabling rapid scale-up of the business through robotics and automation. This is what keeps me energized every morning!
