  Sabbatical

  In January 2019, after a rewarding 18 years period of non-stop working in multinational environments, I've taken a break and started a sabbatical period. During this time, I've had the opportunity to have quality time for myself and for those who I care about. I've had also the chance to take some perspective and look ahead to what I'd like to be my next career step while I continued with my learning and personal developing process.
