This is a subject I have wanted to write about for a long time, but I’ve kept putting it off because it is quite emotional.

I wanted to share with you how important it is to identify a role model/mentor. Therefore I’ve decided to write a series of posts that will cover this subject. I will write about people I was very fortunate to meet, but also about people whose books, presentations or articles helped me a lot.

During my education and my short career I have identified several professionals that helped me build my path and that were a great example. But there is one in particular that has brought the greatest contribution: my husband, Silviu. He is not only a life partner, he is also a model for my dream career. I am constantly amazed and inspired by his professionalism, his unrelenting passion for technology, his dedication, calm, integrity, and communication skills. I admire him for the team he created, and for the way his colleagues look to him. I am pretty sure there are people that see in him a model as well.

I know I have a long way to go till I’ll achieve all these, but I am really grateful I have a full-time role model.

I postponed this first post from the series to be able to publish it in a special day: Happy Birthday to you, my full time role model!
