The information technologies change our environment and open immense opportunities of economic interactions and transactions in real time, without intermediaries and without censorship.
With a strong technological background, I experienced the impact of the Internet in the print industry and the incapacity of its leaders to understand the change happening. After many industries like transport, tourism, banking, print & music, the broadcast industry is next to be challenged!
The success of a company lies in its capacity to answer its clients' needs, in a profitable way of course. My objective is the commercial success of Akamedia. My credo is to bring diversity of viewpoints to the broadcasters.
