What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, teamwork, and professional growth.

I have been fortunate to work in a variety of professional environments since 2013, ranging from start-ups to multinationals and more recently in companies focused on growth. These diverse experiences have equipped me with a wide range of skills, enabling me to adapt quickly to new challenges. I have developed strong leadership skills, which enable me to manage and mentor development teams effectively.

My true passion lies in leadership and the management of development processes. I believe that teamwork and collaboration are essential to the success of any project, and I take great pride in fostering a positive and supportive work environment that promotes creativity and innovation. I am committed to helping teams improve their delivery and communication, and I approach challenges with an open mind, finding creative solutions to problems.
