Personality-based Internal Auditing PBA® 

​

​

Welcome! I am a passionate, open-minded thinker and experienced professional who expands the boundaries of business theory & practice. I am specialized in predictive soft control & behavioral risk evaluations. Internal audit meets groundbreaking psychological system theory!

​

I have a knack for breaking down complexity and putting forward new insights based on unusual thought combinations. I prefer work settings where all partners are on an equal footing, and dislike narrow thinking, status orientation, and knowledge hoarding.
