🌍 Running an international business with team members spread across different countries makes coming together even more special. 🦸♀️ In Q4, the Valpas team welcomed four new team members, and our offsite in Spain was the perfect opportunity to bond, build team spirit, and set ambitious goals for next year. 🌅 From planning the company’s future to cooking meals, treasure hunting in Sitges, and visiting the breathtaking Montserrat Abbey, this offsite was packed with moments that brought us closer as a team. And yes... we also visited a few hotels while having fun—we never miss a chance to introduce Valpas to the industry. Welcome to the team: Anouck Giscard d’Estaing (Customer Success Manager) Inga Gudoniene (Product Designer) Nico Rotstein (Product Manager) Gauthier Dominicy (Head of Marketing)
