2022 Open Message from Executive Director Gabriele Columbro - 13 January 2022

A 2022 open message from our FINOS Executive Director, Gabriele Columbro:First off, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday period and I hope your 2022 started wonderfully for you and your families. Yes, I can't deny we all are probably more than a bit DONE with this pandemic, but on the other hand I hope the working from home routine helped you find a better work-life balance and rediscover the joy of spending time with your family. It surely was the case for me, and I hope you are able to find your silver lining, whatever it might be.
