We have grown together and shared memorable moments. “I want to thank you all for your time, trust, learning and, above all, those who have been with me on this journey.
“I bring with me laughter and challenges overcome. I take conversations, support when difficult moments arise, and the satisfaction that I was part of something truly exceptional.”
“Today is the last day of an important chapter in my personal life. It is with nostalgia and pride that I close this chapter, as well as excitement about what’s next. “I know that my life has made me better.”
“Thanks, Carlos, for all the trust and effort you put in, as well as for making my way of competing feel so special.” I wish you success both professionally and personally.
“I’d also like to thank all the team members for making work easier during these years. You have taught me that work isn’t just about results or tasks, but also about the people you walk with. “Each and every one has left me with a mark that I will not forget.”
“I am confident that you will continue to have great success. We were an amazing team, despite all the challenges. Wish I could continue. I’m convinced that good people and good memories will always cross paths. I thank you from my very heart.
