Providing employee stock ownership aligns incentives and empowers employees to think long-term. It encourages a culture of ownership and can be key to attracting and retaining top talent.

As companies scale, maintaining the innovative spirit and cohesive culture that drove early success becomes challenging. Without intentional efforts to preserve core values and foster open communication, there's a risk of diluting what made the company great initially. Growth should not come at the cost of losing our essence.

I believe companies should pay the full gross salary to employees, empowering them to take full responsibility for their financial obligations, including taxes. This level of transparency could lead to greater awareness and financial literacy among employees.

I believe that exempting new businesses in the EU from corporate tax for the first three years can significantly boost innovation and entrepreneurship. This initial tax relief can help startups invest more in growth and job creation, ultimately strengthening the economy.
