“I am looking for active roles with a mission motivating and challenging me. I bring in my competencies and my network, but I don’t want to be integrated into an operative corset. The most important thing for me is to get together with impressive personalities who – in whatever way – enrich my life.”
– Jean-Marc Hensch
