The third time is the charm. After two prior attempts to join Michael Turton in cycling Sabah, I made it. I only had to skip a week of snowboarding with fellow TYPO3 geeks in Austria. Bike Borneo or snowboard the Alps? What a tough choice, but since I’ve snowboarded the Alps a couple of times now, Borneo it is. Overall, I had a wonderful time pedaling along the Borneo pathways. However, would the real Malaysians in Sarawak please stand up? The...
In January, I flew over to New Delhi and Hyderabad India for a couple of weeks to visit friends and join Axelerant as their Chief People Officer. As Axelerant’s Chief People Officer, I’m responsible for talent, capability, culture. This means, keeping people motivated, encouraged, smiling and fulfilling their lives.

About 18 months ago, my hip nerve and lower back issues got bad enough, that I could barely cycle 100 meters.

That’s a far cry from my near daily 20 to 50 kilometer...
