That wonderful gentleman in the middle of the picture below is Javier Carrasco, my first boss in the UK and the mentor who taught me everything about executive search. He always made me believe I can. The rest is history. Last weekend, we celebrated his 70th birthday! Reflecting on our 18-year relationship, here are his amazing teachings: - Celebrate the People You Meet at Work: Appreciate your mentors. They play a significant role in your journey and success. - Cherish Their Teachings: Learn from your managers’ wisdom and experience. Their insights are there to be taken. - Value Their Feedback: Constructive criticism means they care about your growth. Embrace the challenges they give you. - Build Connections That Last: Create relationships that extend beyond the office. These connections enrich both your professional and personal life. Thank you, Javier, for your friendship and invaluable advice. You continue to be a guiding light in my professional journey. Happy Birthday, Javier! 🎂🎉 #Leadership #Mentorship #CareerGrowth #WorkLife #CelebrateSuccess #ProfessionalJourney #ExecutiveSearch #Inspiration #WorkConnections #HappyBirthday
So gutted I couldn’t be with you! Xx
Thanks you Nuria. It was an honor working with you and see how successful you are in your career. All the best!
And you were the one who encouraged me during my interview in Vodafone 8 years ago!
Happy Birthday, Javier! Loved working with you and the UK team. Nuria, thanks for sharing!
Thank you 🙏 for this! It’s beautiful
Happy Birthday, Javier- you had brought back the belief in what I thought executive search could and should be after I saw its not-so-pretty face. Your “polish the silver” will stay with me for a lifetime! Thank you and hope you had amazing celebrations!

Happy Birthday Javier Carrasco Working with you, were some of the best days of my career! Your wise words of 'the difference between good and great, is the attention to detail' will stay with me for a lifetime. Hope you're keeping well 😊
