Adrenaline comes in many forms. Though Gold Coin Holdings CEO Gerald Wilflingseder chases it in conventional ways, such as skiing, he also finds it in his work life. “I don’t shy away from problems, I thrive on them,” he says. “It’s my internal combustion engine, my motor. I don’t know where I get my energy from but people say I have a lot of it. I’m a very positive person.”

He’s also lived all over the world, including Africa, Latin America, North America and Europe. Now, he has made a home in Singapore. “The most important decision in this job was the move with my family to Asia,” he explains. “Asia wasn’t in my plans, but now that I’m here, I like it very much.”

At first, Gerald wasn’t sure if he should accept the role at Gold Coin. But after checking it out, he decided it was an exciting opportunity. “It wasn’t so much whether I could do the work or not, because it’s the business I have worked in for the past 28 years,” he says. “But it was a more challenging role because I haven’t led a company of this size before. But I was willing to take it on.”
