From the concert halls of Europe to the tech industries of the United States, C. J. Santos has created a story across the globe.
Bom in Brazil, Santos moved to Switzerland at the age of 18, and earned degrees in both music performance and business administration there. During his next 10 years of “intense” career as a professional musician, he spent most of his time on the road. “I had the honor to perform in the top concert halls in Europe,” Santos said. “It really wore me out to be constantly traveling and performing, but it allowed me to see the world and understand it in its full diversity.

The program provided him with something he clearly enjoys in life: variety “It helped me take the most advantage of the translation industry's digital transformation. What I gained from the program is more than what I managed in the 15 years in Europe,” he added.
