João Cid is a Founder and Partner | Senior Consultant at Qloudyx. They is proficient in French, Spanish and English. Colleagues describe them as "João always did everything within his power to support the development team and provide the best resources to make us grow as professionals and as individuals. He was always very customer-centric and customer delight was paramount, to achieve that, no shortcuts were taken. I remember one proof of concept to a customer where I proposed an approach and technology stack completely different, which aimed to provide a different (and hopefully better) experience to the customer, using what I thought would provide the best service and experience, ultimately customer delight. He was always available to have a chat, listen to what was on my mind, ideas or rants about something, and I think it's very important to know that your leader is always there for you to provide nuggets of wisdom and share experience. João could have just shut the idea down, and ask to don't go outside our comfort zone, but he took the risk of trying something different. The customer loved it and it was a success. Good leaders don't tell people what to do, good leaders inspire and empower people to achieve more and to be each day as better as possible than the day before. João was, without doubt, a pillar and a reference on my career and I learned a lot with him. Thank you João, I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't met you. " and "I had the opportunity of working together with João on a common project. His "no-nonsense", practical and objective approach to the job we had in hands allowed us to reach the best solution in a very short period of time. Cherry on top of that cake? The chance of enjoying his company after working hours."
