Top 5 Strengths
Gallup's Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment®

“You can turn a city upside down, but it won't keep you dry like an umbrella.”

Some people have a thing for the latest trends. However, André’s sweet spot is collecting vintage cars and motorcycles. The humorous and friendly André is also a high-tech enthusiast that’s really into drones. When he’s not sending stuff into the sky, he likes to travel preferably to wild and untouched landscapes. He loves to go on safaris to Africa, but Vietnam was his most memorable travel destination.

Curious. Easy-going. Patient.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
