After 16 exciting and very rewarding years at IBM I left my badge at reception today.
Thanks to my teams, friends and family for making these years so remarkable. I will embark now on a new journey as Digital Advisor at Microsoft, It is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity of working in the Digital Advisory Services.
My journey started here , I took my first computer on 1982, it was a Commodore VIC 20 , my first professional internet experience began in the 1997, here my first website, and after the IBM’s experience I have decided to seek new adventures. I am sure you can understand that making this decision has been difficult. I leave with mixed emotions.
I have a lot of memories: passion, friends, colleagues, boss, customers, project plans, scenarios, solutions, source code, meetings, failures, successes, work at night, dreams, philosophy, technologies, travels, cities, airports, pubs 🙂
I do wish You and the Company every success in all its future endeavors.
Stay tuned. It’s going to be a blast. See you around !
So long and thanks for all the fish
