Gerardo Igler

Business Developer

My commercial degree is "Perito Mercantil" and was translated from Spanish into German by a sworn translator as "Handelsssachverständiger". I have attended several training courses in Austria.

5. How long have you been working at Lithoz?

Officially it's a year, but I feel so welcome that it seems much longer.

6. What makes it so great here?

Lithoz is still a young company that is in full growth. It is very successful, a clear world leader and still wants to conquer the world! The business environment is positive and the perception among prospects and customers is equally friendly. I have experienced many things, but I have rarely seen them so open, so multinational, so without prejudice. The management lives the values they communicate and are credible. This also applies to my colleagues. There is great cohesion, a really pleasant team spirit. Of course, it's not always easy, but if it were easy, it wouldn't be so exciting.
