Personal details
Often enjoys a good steak in his local Vienna pub and values comfort and spontaneity. He also likes to dive in the Caribbean or the malidives. At summer festivals he has been seen smoking a cigar and he has a passion for driving his topless car.
Literature
When asked he is happy to list the most up to date e-commerce studies and white papers amongst his favourite literature. On the other hand he gets much of his management acumen and IT gags from the biggest office hero of all time: Dilbert. According to rumour he has all the Dilbert publications in his private libary. Unfortunately UnitedMedia would not allow the publication of his favourite comics on the imPlus website, but a click on the Dilbert Zone will bring you a new Dilbert every day. Have fun!
