What motivates me every day is to be part of a global community willing to challenge the status quo and improve the world we live in.
I love challenging contexts, where conditions are changing daily and where our analytical thinking and out-of-the-box mindset can make the difference.
What moves me is the passion to have an objective to achieve, but the way to get it is not yet clear: designing the road of success gives me the energy to go and push beyond the limits and, in the end, deliver results.
