What motivates you to go the extra mile?

I would say the support received through my personal experiences. You see, we have all been in positions that we didn’t necessarily like, but it’s all about how we handle and get through them.

So, for me it is just common sense to try and do to others what was done towards me, helping people in those situations. That can be as simple as translating something, explaining a procedure, sitting next to someone and listening, or just answering the phone at odd hours. The little things really make a difference. Knowing I can help others, really makes my day.

Which of Hydro's values mean the most to you and why?

By far Care, not that Courage and Collaboration are not important, they are all somehow intertwined. The reason is very simple. We can find a paycheck, job stability and even a career anywhere, but caring for each employee goes a long way. This is what has been most impactful for me and I try to do the same for others.

What makes our company a great place to work?

The people, the vision, the mission. Many things can be said that make Hydro a great place to work. Beyond the fact that we are here to be successful, we are also proving we can do business and care for people, not only for employees, but for the environment and communities too.

How would you describe our company culture?

A great one! Our cornerstone is inclusion. In Hydro it doesn’t matter where you come from, the language you speak or how long you’ve been in the company. The diversity in our workforce is what makes us succeed.
