Whatever I do in life, I do it as best as I can. Thus, having a "brillant" career becomes a "natural" result of that thinking for me. Although I'm ambitious in business life, I do acknowledge the importance of faith, and surprises of life. And that gives me a total pleasure in my life.
I started my career by working in technology related departments of some international companies, because I like to solve problems within an organized and determined system. Currently I'm working in the operations department of a financial institution, as the manager of the department, and I still like to solve problems of the company and its customers. As I said in the beginning, what I do, I should do it as best as I can. Thus, I think that my career will always be around some operational/ organizational related departments of the companies.
Thanks to my education in foreign schools (french highschool, american university), and my stay in the past in Italy,different cultures interest me. I try to travel around the world if I can and meet with different people. This multicultural status made me unbiased towards the world.
Besides travelling, I like to observe people. I try to write what I observe from people. And I try to write as regularly as I can.
