Meeting the company’s CEO or founder usually means that you have made it through to the last stage of the selection process, which will finalise your application and decide if you’re going to be part of the company. If you have come this far, it is because the people whom you have met up until now have vetted and approved your skills, and truly believe you can do the job. As a result, you are among the final few candidates. It might feel as if you’ve done the hardest part already, but you definitely don’t want to fall at the last hurdle either.
Be honest, courteous and open minded. Also do a lot of research about the company, its works, goals, futures etc in detail. And above all why do you love this company to work with. I personally followed them all besides being very honest about the approach and showing that I really love to work for that company.

Why do you want to work at this company?
This sentence in blog "It takes people who are able to “think out of the box”, people with lots of imagination and creativity and an open mind for trying out new approaches." perfectly matched my working style, expectation, cultural and occupational fit.
2 years back I was started to create a smart city logistics solution for Antwerp port with https://www.thebeacon.eu/ however that not completed due to I was not living in Belgium then. It was about all logistic partners including cargo/container carriers can make most of the things automated and less congestion in the port area and city. Besides this, it would have provided automated entry and outpass by ML image processing and other related technologies. I always wanted to do or work for smart logistics especially make the urban logistic solutions and sustainability in logistics eg. less carbon footprint, using bicycle cargo, electric cargo etc.
So now if I get selected by it will fulfil my dream besides I can relocate and work in for the rest of my career.

What do you want to accomplish in your career?
Very few opportunities I got in my long career which are very long term in respect of the years of working in a company. Due to working in service companies, fewer career prospects in long term and very thick internal politics in service companies also obstruct staying longer with career growth. It is very difficult for an open minded and diligent employee to get an opportunity to continue working for years in a single product or company. They are all project based and sometimes even a part of the project needed to deliver.
I always searching for stable and long term opportunities but hardly get that chance. For that, I and my family suffers a lot. We needed to relocate several times to different cities in a big country like India. Besides this, I lost economically and trauma for several times by taking interviews and searching jobs.

Also, I want to see myself in a techno manager role in a higher position later. So that I can delegate and mentor more teams and team members as well. Directly help to company's potential.

I have that potential and already proved that can deliver the solution to any kind of challenges company felt or dealing with. I can help from architecture to development to mentoring team with my 23 years of experiences in different products and industry including logistics.
