Q: Where in your background did you learn the most?
A: I was a founder of Renaissance Software and, as a brand new start-up everything had to be done from scratch. Furthermore, I took over the sales function, in addition to being CFO. That was a very rich and different experience for a CFO.

Q: If you could meet one person in history, who would you meet and why?
