21 years ago I was at one of those crossroads. I was deciding between two very different ideas: accepting a position to lead a project at a huge corporation in California (I always wanted to be in the US), or starting my own thing. I chose the latter, the hard path. My parents and friends thought I was crazy. They couldn't understand that I was leaving the stability of my job, and rejecting a leadership position at a major company when I was still in college, to embark on a personal project that involved innovating in uncharted territory, such as doing PR over ICQ (remember?) and doing account management over Yahoo Messenger (how about now?) I won't deny that I was pretty nervous, but I was convinced that this was what I wanted to do with my life, and that conviction was stronger than any doubt. Not having a family of my own at the time probably helped a lot. Today, half my life later, I look back and it’s pretty humbling. I was able to establish my own company and to accomplish a lot more than I’ve ever dreamed of. I’ve been honored to work with some of the best in this industry, to have Kubikware included in the prestigious Inc. 5000 list five times (I used to look at others that made it and couldn’t fathom how it was even possible) and to have formed strong relationships with clients and teammates who trust me and the work we do, and some of whom have become great friends. And I live in the place I’ve always wanted to be in, because of Argentina having made me who I am. 🤗 If I had to choose the thing that I’m most proud of, is to have transformed my original “Founder and CEO” email signature - which stood for “Chief EVERYTHING Officer” - into a structured and super solid company, with a team of talented people who share my values, hold the fort, believe in what we do, and defend it every day. 💪 Kubikware has WAY outgrown that teenage dream. We are a company where human values are fundamental, where teamwork is the key that opens every door, and where we help everyone here and our clients fulfill their dreams, just like I did. PERSPICUITAS. HUMANITAS. ARTIFICIUM. Transparency, humanity, and craftsmanship. Those are our core values. Here’s to another 21 years! 🎉 #Kubikware #21Years #WeSpeakDigital

When it's in you, it's like denying a part of yourself to say no. I also started my company on the heels of being offered my dream job. I turned it down to start Big Fish. It's true, it's scary, but no regrets here either. :D
Congratulations! Such an amazing journey !!
