G'day and welcome to some of my stuhf.
I am a South African doctor with an MBA who lives in Switzerland and works as an International Product Manager for a multinational pharmaceutical giant. I have lived and worked on three continents and plan to add another before I turn 40, preferably in a city by the sea.
I am an iconoclast, an aggregator, an early adopter, a strategic thinker and a pragmatist. I am curious and love to learn new things.
My interests range from digital media and marketing, the pharmaceutical industry, economics, politics, sport (in particular kitesurfing and poker), social media, peer-to-peer networking, genealogy, to companies like Apple and their iconic products.
Besides the aforementioned, my passion is personal productivity (based on the GTD methodology) and how to deal with information overload. I write about that at The Productivity Paradox.com
Oh, and I don't - for one moment - think that any of the content of this site will be of any value to anyone, but it's quite cool to have a place to store some of my stuhf online.
