Our Culture
Using a football analogy, we are more in line with the team ethics of
Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid than that of Florentino Perez's Real
Madrid. In a few words: No Galacticos here, the Star is the Team.
That team is a mix of youth and experience. It is diverse (7
different nationalities at the moment) and its members are hungry to
learn, grow and share. We champion a stimulating environment where autonomy, ownership, initiative and exchange are valued and encouraged. Micro-management is not our idea of how a team should work.
Working hard and having fun in the process: this is how we want to live our adventure together.
