My last day


Today is my last day at NX2.

Last day.

6 years as a CEO.

​

Why leaving?

I needed a change.

Yes, just like that.

Bye, bye, big salary, big bonuses, big responsibilities working for others.

Bye, bye… last day.

​

I could have added a speech about my great team, our great job, our achievements, etc… but I let those things for the people that love to talk about the weather.

​

There is a perfect time to move on, and mine was well overdue.

Now, no plans. No commitments. No work. No rush.

Just freedom, and many ideas in my head.

Calm, and satisfaction. Even some dreams.

​

I have been building during years my financial freedom and now it’s time to taste it as good coffee.

Time with my child. Time to do a few things at home. Time to walk in the park under the sun. Time to practice some kung-fu… mental and physical.

​

Look, when coffee is roasted it creates many chemical reactions.

One of those reactions builds-up carbon dioxide.

Good coffee comes in packages with one-way valves. They allow carbon-dioxide to escape without allowing oxygen into the package.

Coffee reaches its peak in flavour from around 12-15 days after the roast date. Then, flavour goes down and coffee ages with exposure to oxygen.

​

I had the time for my chemical reactions. I matured my ideas, my experience, my businesses, and now, I feel it’s my time to build something great and big.

Africa. Mid-2010s. You’re in the middle of a multibillion-dollar PPP. Your consortium is assembled. Your lenders are mobilized. Your bid team is burning cash like Tesla compensating executives… The agency launches the RFP. Everyone is excited. A fair, competitive process… in theory. And then it starts: Deadline extended. “More time to refine proposals,” they say. Another extension. Silence. And then another. “These guys don’t seem ready” Drop a new batch of documents in the data room. (Oh,...

January 5th. In Spain and many parts of the world, kids go to sleep excited because the Three Wise Men are coming with toys. Meanwhile… in Australia… a mega-project disaster. Hobart, 1975 – 9:27 PM The Tasman Bridge. A massive concrete jewel connecting both sides of the Derwent River. Strong. Modern. Safe. Until a bulk carrier called Lake Illawarra hit one of its piers. Concrete collapsed. Cars fell into the void without even seeing it. Twelve lives lost. A city cut in half for more than two...

Christmas is not my cup of tea. I guess that I’m too practical to over eat, over drink, over talk and over spend. It’s not an optimal solution. One of the things I’m trying to be practical about is gifts. In Spain, gifts are given on the 6January morning. The 3 wise men day. There is also a very famous place. El Corte Inglés… or The English Cut (?) Where you can buy all gifts. Adults and children alike. From clothing to iPads to travel packages. One shop to get everything. So, you won’t see...
