I grew up in Portugal, part of my parents amazing journey of love and tolerance as they navigated their different religions. This ignited me with a sense of curiosity about life and purpose. As I finished school, I wanted to change the world to be more tolerant and fair for all. I studied political science but soon realized that politics was the exact opposite of how I envisioned changing the world. Living in Turkey, I was open to new cultures and ideas. I read the Koran and identified with the message of tolerance. Since I converted to Islam, I never feel alone, and I always have a thousand brothers and sisters. One of the reasons I love working for SAP in the UAE is incredible diversity and real respect that SAP pays to it. I always feel so rich when I see so many different cultures, at one table, working together. I feel like a valued member of a large, diverse and tolerant family.
