Objectives
I’m Theo. From an early age I’ve developed an interest in the sea and its environment.
Practicing and being passionate about water sports, my path in the practice of some of these sports, added to the nautical skills I’ve acquired over time, led me to direct my professional interest and my career to the Yacht Industry.
Personal traits: sociability, ease in relating to different styles of people, ability to bring different groups together around an ideal, and ability to work well in a team. In addition, good humor, resilience and tenacity, especially when it comes to achieving a goal.
I seek to use my knowledge/skills to work in the industry and gain even more experience to navigate the world.
