:: Lander, you have been the chairman of ULMA Group for just a few months now but... what is your general assessment of things throughout this time? The expected?
When one accepts a position such as this one it is difficult to come to terms with what this means. My experience throughout the last four years as chairman of one of the largest businesses of ULMA Group has helped me greatly but a change of this magnitude is a qualitative leap.
When you become the chairman of a business, a world opens to you and even though you knew it was there, it was unknown.
