Why did you choose to work for the rail industry?

Railways are my passion, complexity of railway system, has future in combination with high technology.

What inspired you at the time and what influenced your choice?

I wanted to contribute to the development of railway technology and railways as transport mean, first job was integration of ETCS in rolling stock (at that time ETCS was new).

How does it feel to be in the rail industry? Are your expectations fulfilled?

Good, great satisfaction!

What are the challenges?

Simplify the complexity of making railways in Europe, railways should think more about customers and their needs, but changing mindset by people is necessary.

Talent is… a person predestined to be very competent in a certain field, somebody who can bring and convince people and their environment to change their present and future.
