Although our structure is made of hierarchical roles, check-and-balance processes, automated flows, and interdependent functions, the difference is made by the people, who are, in our belief, the key to achieve excellence.

For this reason, across the years we looked out for a balanced mix of young talents and experienced professionals to join our team; but, more importantly, we looked for people driven by the same ethical values and sound principles that drive us.
