Having grown up in Argentina, studied in Germany and worked in Luxembourg, the United States and China, Cristian worked with people from exceptionally diverse backgrounds and cultures. This has broadened his perspective, allowed him to learn from people quite different from himself, and created a lasting curiosity about different cultures and points of view. Through his experience, Cristian learned the value of diversity and teamwork.
Outside work, Cristian enjoys CrossFit, fly fishing and traveling the world. He also has a lasting curiosity for world cultures and investing in the stock market.
