“Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter”, an autobiography in which Simone de Beauvoir delves into her past and into herself in a surgical, relentless, and ultimately liberating way. She dismantles the family, religion, politics, and the way of life of the French upper class in order to build herself and make her own existence a unique and unrepeatable adventure. I recommend this book to anyone who feels doubt about their working, intellectual, or sentimental life.

"Nihil difficile volenti"

I have kept all my childhood passions.

Traveling in remote and wild areas is a passion that I could never imagine letting go of. I embark on journeys to lose myself in the world, only to discover more about who I truly am.

If I were to pursue an entirely different second career, my dream would be to become a teacher in South East Asia.

Exactly the same as what I am doing right now.

The ultimate goal of what I am doing and the opportunity to keep learning.

They respected and accepted my choices, which often led me to be absent or abroad.

The primary impediments to career advancement within our industry include gender stereotypes, unconscious bias, unequal access to sponsorship, as well as the impact of personal family decisions and external societal pressures.

The most significant challenges encountered within the technology industry often revolve around structural obstacles. These include the struggle to secure high-profile and visible assignments and the need to establish connections within influential networks, while also fostering valuable sponsor relationships.

Throughout my career, I have garnered recognition for my sense of duty, steadfast commitment to strong values, as well as my exceptional track record in delivery and decision-making capabilities.

"How much does it cost?"

What I find most enjoyable about my job is witnessing the satisfaction of our customers, the motivation of my collaborators, and their journey of growth and advancement.

Pursue your passions, never stop learning, believe in yourself, do not be afraid to make mistakes and never compromise your values.

As a leader, the skills that have proven most valuable to me include the ability to listen to the unspoken, and to address what others may choose to overlook or avoid.

By trust, engagement, and motivation.

It's not the technology itself, but what people can do with it, which is how they can improve their lives.

Absolutely!

Cloud computing is a key technology that drives many businesses today. It is the on-demand delivery of computing resources, such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence, over the internet (“the cloud”). Cloud computing eliminates the need for enterprises to procure, configure, or manage resources themselves. It’s flexible, it’s efficient, it offers strategic value, it’s secure, it's cost-effective.

Technology is what gives everyone the tools they need to increase their knowledge, health, happiness, and success.

I believe that we are on the cusp of a new era of innovation that will transform the way we live and work, driven by trends such as: Powerful Cloud Platforms, AI, GenAI, ML, Quantum Computing, AI Trust-Risk and Security Management and Sustainable Technology.

In my opinion, the greatest technological invention is the Printing Press because it made knowledge a common and widespread good and no longer an elitist one.

When used responsibly, technology can do a lot for humanity. Technology makes it easier than ever to communicate with people all over the world, it can be used to create more engaging and effective learning experiences, it has revolutionized health care, it can help us to reduce our environmental impact and create a more sustainable future. Technology can help to bridge the digital divide and give everyone the opportunity to participate in society. Technology brings unity to the world by turning it into a global village which in turn has helped people more easily overcome their cultural, racial and continental barriers.

Staying up-to-date on the latest tech trends can be challenging, but I am committed to it. I read tech news and blogs every day, and I try to attend conferences and meetups whenever possible. I am also fortunate to work at Google, which offers a wide range of internal training sessions and workshops on a variety of technical topics. These sessions are typically led by experts in the field, and they can be a great way to learn new skills and stay ahead of the curve.

Workspace. It seamlessly integrates all of the core elements of work, like email, chat, voice and video calling, document collaboration, storage, task management, security tools, and admin controls so I can connect, create and collaborate, easily and securely, from wherever I am.

My favourite website is Google News, because it allows me to stay up-to-date on current events from around the world.

My favourite technology product is my smartphone when I need it for work, to stay connected with my loved ones, or to complete other important tasks.
My least favourite technology product is my smartphone when I use it out of boredom or without a real need to be connected.

Their soul.

Success is intrinsically linked to morality and integrity. "The greatness of my morality is proportional to my success."

Dualism or physicalism? I definitely believe in mindfulness. The relationship between the mind and body is a complex and fascinating one. It is a two-way street, with our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours all having an impact on our physical health, and vice versa.
