Never forget where you came from. Never stop being creative and always keep learning. Be present so you recognize opportunities when they present themselves. What job do you really want to have in the future? Whatever I do in the future, I hope it's challenging. It should be something with global responsibility as well as the chance to be an active presence in the market and to interact with customers. I would also want the freedom to express my outside-the-box thoughts and to develop relationships that make a difference. What do you do to relax? I love being outdoors and taking long walks. I enjoy gardening and taking care of my flowers. I also really like spending time with my friends and cooking for them. What is your pet peeve? I detest dishonesty, unfairness and unprofessional behavior. I also don't like it when people constantly complain. If we use our creativity and remain open-minded, every problem can be an opportunity for success. What was your first car? I had a red Fiat Panda 750 L. That car was my Ferrari. Current car? A BMW X3. If you were a car, which one would you be? A Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-hybrid. What makes the Panamera so unique is its combination of performance, elegance and comfort. I also appreciate that its 4wd lets it adapt to different terrains and weather conditions, a trait that is essential in both cars and humans. 2019 91
