Get to know Simone

If you have an hour of free time, how do you spend that free time?

Various things. I am happy with an hour on the padel court, an hour in town or relaxing on the couch with a book. I also enjoy getting a breath of fresh air on the beach.

What is the best book you have read?

'Steal You Away' by Niccolo Ammaniti.

What is your favourite travel destination?

Italy remains my favourite! Friendly people, delicious food, beautiful cities. Next year I will also go to Italy in the snow for the first time.

What do you like about your work?

The variety of work and the different projects I get to work on. Next year's projects include the European Championships in Germany and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, both top train destinations.
The external contacts and the bit of international travelling that comes with it every now and then give me energy. Putting international rail travel on the map again and again, both in the corporate market and with OTAs and leisure customers, is what I really enjoy about my work.

What gives you energy?

Sunshine!
