Just a couple of day and the year 2013 comes to its end. It’s time to look back and reflect what I have done this year. Quite a lot of things came across my path: daily work, sales meeting, testing conferences, writing articles, training people and my promotion. Yes, you read it well, I have been promoted to a different business unit: consultancy 🙂 !
