If you can guess what happens when two of the most global industries of our time intersect, you already get the idea of how a normal day at Newshore looks like…
No better place than our offices to illustrate the complementary, even symbiotic, relationship between airlines and technology, each of them doing its bit to make distances irrelevant.
Here this shrinkage of the globe is not just metaphorical, but very real: professionals from Spain, China, Sweden, Great Britain, Argentina, Colombia...working side by side to deliver projects for airlines in Russia, France, Hong Kong, Guinea...proof that you don’t need to be big to nurture the type of atmosphere where global talent can thrive.
The allure of Barcelona as an emerging global city is a powerful addition to the mix, as it acts as powerful magnet for young, educated, internationally mobile professionals. Not for nothing a recent report by the Boston Consulting Group has designated Barcelona as the 4th best city in the World to work in, only surpassed by London, New York and Berlin and well ahead of the likes of Paris and Dubai.
Besides the opportunities for professional growth if offers, the city is particularly attractive to those professionals looking to lead an active lifestyle. A case in point: the technology district, where Newshore’s office is located, sits next to one of Europe’s best urban beaches. Sharpening your surfing skills after a hard day’s work is not out of the question!
The quality of life in Barcelona was a powerful draw for Diana, a project manager who moved to the city from Newshore’s office in Colombia. “I like the atmosphere of this city, the culture and...well, yes, being by the beach is very nice too!”
To be clear, the practice of outdoor sports is not a requirement to work at Newshore (although most of our people do actually enjoy them!), but having an open, inquisitive mind most definitely is.
And the willingness to travel, sometimes to unsuspected places at a short notice, is much appreciated too!
“International assignments have had a very positive contribution to my career, they open up your mind to lots of new knowledge and new ways of doing things” explains Roger, one of the firm youngest managers. His fast progression from analyst to manager has been dotted by project assignments the World over - Paris, Mexico, Israel, Panama, Chile, Dubai and Argentina - including a six month stint with a customer in sunny Florida.
