Great, so I wanted to speak about Antonietta Nobili, who is my previous manager. We worked together from 2018 to 2019 in Alten. Back in time she was in charge of compliance and quality management system for Alten, which is a huge international consulting company, and she was managing all the companies of the South. So Italy, Portugal and Spain. She has always been so picky, precise, calm, and she had this very incredible way to make you feel uncomfortable. So that’s a big way she managed to get the best from everyone that worked with her. I strongly admire Antonietta because we managed to keep a strong relationship even if I left the company. And she had this special sense like my mother. So every time I felt that she was always there for me as a person, not just as a professional. So I think that we bonded a lot, me and Antonietta, both because we went through the same difficult men’s and issues at work, but also because we managed to see through each other. so as people and not just as colleagues. So I guess that anyone should have a manager like Antonietta because her main aim, her main goal when she found the right person was to make them grow really, which is kind of rare in consulting companies, especially in a thriving environment in which everyone is just looking for their garden and trying to grow despite the growth of others.
