Despite my young age, I have already had the opportunity to work and study in four different countries. Besides boosting my love for international environments, this helped me to forge who I am right now, providing me with unique and invaluable skills and experiences, such as the need to constantly and quickly adapt, which is an essential ability in our digital world.
A few years ago, I decided to take another step in my career, so I joint Spathios, a start-up founded in Barcelona. Regardless of my (mostly) experience in multinationals, I rapidly adapted and grew to became one of the main managers and leaders of the company, where I am still working as a Tech Team Lead.
That has been quite a challenge so far, but pushing me to new challenges and new goals is something I truly enjoy.

When I had to make THE CHOICE in high school, what I want to be and work with for the rest of my life, it was a real challenge, because I was interested in everything (well, I mean not economics, but still). Focusing on core values and what is important to me as a person was, that I care about people, their health and what they put into their bodies.
Another aspect was my love for organising systems out of chaos and that I need to know what makes things tick… Quality just called for me through bioengineering, food safety, pharmacovigilance, active ingredient and excipient regulations. I joined IT Quality due to Thermo Fisher’s commitment on all the things that are important to me as a person and as a professional. Being a nerd is also a huge advantage!
