Carlos Gonzalez

“Traveling to London has been the best decision I've ever made. It's given me the opportunity to experience a new culture and meet people from all over the world.”

Born in Bogota, Carlos moved to London after finishing his degree in economics at Universidad Javeriana. He landed a job as an office clerk at a marketing firm and has been climbing the corporate ladder ever since. On weekends, he likes to visit the local markets and cook traditional Colombian dishes for his flatmates. He's also an avid soccer fan and loves nothing more than cheering on his favorite team with friends at a pub. His dream is to one day start his own business, combining his passion for cooking and economics.

What's your favorite Colombian dish?

Definitely bandeja paisa. It's a hearty meal with rice, beans, grilled meat, plantain, avocado, and more!

How do you think your Colombian background influences your work?

I think it gives me a unique perspective on things. Colombians are very social, we value relationships and connections. I try to bring that to my work by building strong networks with colleagues and clients.
