General Info

What will be your most valuable contribution to your TechWomen host company?

I believe that any company is aimed to increase its profit, decrease the cost to increase its finance wealth, thus its productivity will increase with high efficiency and effectiveness on the market. At the end of the day, the company is doing business and needs good reputation and high financial scale with excellent quality. Moreover, I believe that companies love synergy and employees who are creative and productive enough to execute the synergy process and can prove that 1+1=3 if we add extra 1 to the sum (2). I have the potentials to escalate the productivity because I'm synergetic.
