My career path is full of changes in a continuous search for knowledge, innovation, entrepreneurship and real market value in the ICT industry (help Businesses succeed)
But whatever I did, I NEVER stopped LOVING what I did.
I was many times a self starter (a Serial Entrepreneur) and I was never settled with what I had (in terms of my everyday life).
Old times were different (location, education, entrepreneurship, global reach, market etc). Now we live in a different world.
