Juan Suárez, Diego Pino, Manuel Rego, Xan López and Jacobo Aragunde, five fellow igalians, changed their status recently from pre-partners to partners, becoming co-owners of the company.
As stated in our website, Igalia hirings are based on a stable growing policy. Every igalian has the opportunity to advance inside the company through an established itinerary composed of stages: from employee to pre-partner and finally to partner, this way becoming a co-owner of the company.
Recently, five fellow igalians have walked the path and became partners, joining the rest of the partners and serving as an example and motivation for the rest of pre-partners in the company.
Jacobo Aragunde, Xan López, Juan Suarez, Diego Pino and Manuel Rego have been nurturing their relation with Igalia with dedication during the last years. And from Igalia we want to congratulate them for their good work and thank them for their effort.
