Borja was my boss at the beginning of my career, and I really learnt a lot from him. He was able to motivate me, created an atmosphere of high trust and helped me improve in many ways, e.g. in my time management skills and results-orientation. He is very smart and a great communicator. Working in Borja's team was really a pleasure!
