    When did you start working for Ozone, what is your background and previous experience?

    I started as General Manager in 2012, before that I was UK and Germany manager in 2009 and Spanish distributor since 2006. I still have my Kite Shop in Barcelona, open since 2007.

    Which Ozone related discipline are you most passionate about?

    Snowkiting, Kitesurfing, Racing and Winging, I am very passionate about all of them but in that order!

    Describe what those disciplines mean to you?

    Flying kites is hypnotic and relaxing, I have always owned kites and built a few when I was young. Being in the elements, being pulled by an invisible force is like mediation for me. It is not about the extreme side, it is about escapism and being with nature. The extreme side adds a very healthy dose of adrenaline which makes my heart fly when setting up for a session, this feeling has never left me since I started power kiting in 1989.

    What’s your favourite part of working for Ozone?

    My favourite part of working with Ozone is watching our team create amazing products and seeing them link with our factory to create energy which we can give to our customers. I love to meet our customers on the beach and listen to how we are doing. As the General Manager I also speak to all worldwide distributors and dealers, without them we would not be where we are now. For me to learn about different cultures and market places across the globe has been very interesting.

    What is your favourite Ozone piece of equipment and why?

    All the products aside… my favourite pieces of equipment in Ozone are the sewing machines, CNC machines, presses and packing scales that we have in our own factory. For me, the Ozone factory is the heart of our business. The workers are family and friends and the factory manager, Khanh, is an avid kiter and a passionate man.
