Temporarily stepped in to manage three family-owned construction businesses (two painting service companies and one wood workshop) under Hideas Holding following my father’s heart attack. Oversaw operations of about 50 staff, including 40 field workers and 10 administrative/supervisory employees. Key responsibilities included: - Maintaining business continuity and financial stability (payroll, bank operations, and supplier payments). - Reassuring key clients and securing ongoing project delivery. - Supporting site teams to ensure schedules, quality, and safety standards were upheld. This experience strengthened my crisis leadership, people management, and hands-on operational problem-solving skills while under personal stress. Definitely learned a lot about resilience (and my father is all good now)!
