- Can you describe your job and your daily missions?
My jobs are sailor and engineer.
As a sailor, I'm a trimmer on the AC40. My mission will be to set the sails, finding a balance between the two trimmers actions and steering. The trimmer is responsible to find the optimal adjustment to make the boat move as fast as possible.
As an engineer, I focus on analyzing processes with a continuous improvement approach. I have been working for 8 years now, and I also enjoy being able to apply my professional experience to benefit my sport.
