Hi, I’m Teo

And the reason why I get up in the morning is to make a difference and contribute to something good, every day.

Sparking Drive is not about me. It’s about all of us who want to move the needle for a better tomorrow. There are endless possibilities to make a difference and it’s just a matter of deciding where to focus.

We can make a difference every day in our own life, by taking care of our bodies and minds. We make a difference at work, through our personal leadership, actions and continuous improvement.

We make a difference to our families, friends and communities, by showing that we care, and we are there to support them. And we do all this by cultivating an open mind, a growth mindset, lifelong learning and creativity.
