"Arcplace & myself"

Our eight questions are today directed at David Simoes. He works as Sales Development Representative at Arcplace since May 2023.

How does a good day at Arcplace start for you?

I call out a "Hello everyone!", ask about my colleagues over a coffee and settle in at my workplace. And off I go!

What do you like particularly about your work?

The culture of listening to understand the needs of the clients and offering them the best solution.

How do you unwind after a day at work?

There's nothing better than a walk to switch off at the end of the day. Afterwards, read something before the light goes out.

Please finish the sentence: I work at Arcplace because …

... this company puts people at the centre of its values.

Whom would you like to meet in person and why?

Arnold Schwarzenegger! I know it may sound unusual, but I admire him very much; for having grown up with his films, but also for his ambition, which is coupled with great modesty, for his humour and his commitment to the environment. And finally, he is a person who has dedicated his life to sport and health, enjoying life to the fullest.

What drives you mad?

I am sometimes not very patient with people who complain a lot or feel like victims of life. Difficulties are a chance to grow!

Which three things would you take with you to a deserted island?

If it is a situation that is vital for survival:

1. a sharp knife
2. a compass
3. The Go Rin No Sho (The book of five rings)

What couldn’t you do without?

My family!
