"My life has changed a lot during the pandemic, and I’ve had to develop very strong routines to keep the sanity of my mental health," he shares. "Normally I wake up early, have breakfast while checking my emails, go for a refreshing walk, and by the time I am back I start my day of meetings." 

Despite the demands of his role, Dani ensures to prioritize self-care and personal time. "I try to save time for admin tasks, do physical exercise, and find a good balance between being productive and taking care of myself," he adds.

If something, Arm people are good listeners and enablers for all these good things. Good professionals will always have a home here as long as they’re authentic."
