Ronald Gijsel Our story would be too long and boring to be told here, but we can give you two or three frames. For example, how we met. It all started in July, on a random Friday… Nando was the CEO of a web agency based in Catania, Sicily. I was a web designer, and I lived in Tuscany. We both used the internet for our jobs, but we didn’t use it just for that, apparently… Who would have thought that the internet would have connected us so much that we would become life partners? Well, it happened, and Noemi, our daughter, is the sweetest proof of that. https://yithemes.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronald-gijsel-31429344/?originalSubdomain=uk
