— Tony

2 - What steps do you usually follow to make a clear assessment of a complex situations, set new objectives to switch to a better path ?

3 - What books or people have inspired you the most to help you go through your challenges ?

Two personalities I find very inspiring:

GSD aka Get Shit Done
— John Wood

John Wood, founder of Room To Read. He left a comfortable role at Microsoft to create a charity organization which became one of the largest charity in the world. He is managing a charity as professionally as a business organization. His motto is GSD (= Get Shits Done).

Reed Hastings, co-founder & CEO of Netflix is probably one of the most intelligent and focused person I know. He is laser focus on the product and our consumers, competion is irrelevant to him.

Three books I re-read regularly :

Robin Sharma "The monk who sold his Ferrari"


4 - As an intense international traveler, what are your golden routines to marry your business and personal lives ?

I use forcing functions such as booking sports trainer in hotels to stay in shape mentally and physically
