About Sébastien

One of the first of the Y Generation, I grew up and lived around the world, which gives me ease of adaptation and flexibility. Multi lingual, I have no problem working in French, English or Spanish. Plus, I understand German and Portuguese.
My passion for tourism (50+ countries visited) lead me to the Travel Industry, and I have experience in Airline (LAN Airlines/LATAM), Corporate Travel Agencies (AMEX, TUI), IT Provider (Amadeus IT Group, ASTEK Consulting) and Hospitality (Masaya Hostels).
With a track of proven record as a Decision Maker in the Industry (leading the Spanish Development for ASTEK, managing the Product Management Department of Big Data & Business Intelligence for Travel Agencies & Tourism Boards for Amadeus...) , I felt that I needed a change and decided to see Nature though my office window instead of my screensaver.

On a more personal side, have I mentioned that the county I lived the longest in is Singapore, that I've learned to read and write in Vietnam, that I was in charge of developing a Mid-Back Office for Travel Agencies in Argentina, managed one of the best hostels in Colombia during the pandemic and that I graduated from a MBA in England?
Did you know that in the last years I sailed down the Amazon River in a hammock; did "el Camino de Santiago" leaving from Lisbon (1.000+ km hike); spent 10 days in North Korea and invited my dad to realize his child dream: a 5 days hike to an Inca lost city named Choquequirao?
