Meet the Beewisers: Andrea – Customer Success Specialist

A Journey from Milano to Beewise

From the bustling streets of Milano to the serene landscapes of Varese, Andrea Brito’s life has been a tapestry of diverse experiences and adventures. Growing up in Italy, Andrea was surrounded by rich culture and history, but it was his curiosity and ambition that set him on a unique path. His early years were spent balancing school with part-time jobs, where he dipped his toes into various industries—from textiles to oil & gas, and even travel. These experiences not only broadened his horizons but also instilled in him a resilience and adaptability that would become his hallmark.

A Leap of Faith to Belgium

In 2018, Andrea made a bold decision that would change his life forever. He packed his bags and moved to southern Belgium, driven by a desire for new challenges and experiences. This leap of faith soon led him to Luxembourg, where he secured a position in the food market sector. Life was good, and Andrea thrived in his new role, but then the pandemic hit, and like many, he faced the uncertainty of job cuts. August 2020 brought an end to his position due to budget reductions, but Andrea, ever the optimist, saw this as an opportunity rather than a setback.

Reinvention in the Financial Field

By February 2021, Andrea had pivoted to the financial sector. It was a fresh start, and he embraced it with open arms. The financial field was a new terrain for him, but his previous experiences had equipped him with the skills and mindset to succeed. His journey through different sectors had taught him the importance of adaptability, and he was ready to bring his unique perspective to this new venture.

Finding a Home at Beewise

Andrea’s journey eventually led him to Beewise, where he found a perfect match for his skills and passions. The framework of Beewise, which simplifies investing, resonated with Andrea’s desire to make a meaningful impact. As a customer success specialist, he now has the opportunity to support both current and future investors, helping them navigate the world of investing with ease. His role at Beewise is not just a job; it’s a platform where he can leverage his diverse background to provide great service and support.

The Man Behind the Professional

But who is Andrea beyond his professional life? Describing himself as an introverted yet social and positive individual, Andrea has a passion for photography, particularly long exposure techniques. He finds joy in capturing the beauty of fleeting moments, a hobby that allows him to express his creativity. His love for nature is reflected in his hobbies—running and hiking, often accompanied by his dog. These activities not only keep him active but also provide a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural world.

A Tale of Two Cuisines

Andrea’s heart is still deeply tied to his Italian roots, and nothing brings this out more than his love for pasta. However, his time in Belgium has introduced him to the local delicacies, and he finds himself equally smitten with Belgian fries. It’s a delightful culinary conundrum—an Italian soul with a newfound appreciation for Belgian cuisine. Despite his love for Beewise, there’s one thing that Andrea humorously admits: he does not have the best relationship with real bees, courtesy of his allergy.

Favorite Beewise Portfolio

Andrea is particularly fond of the Beewise portfolios that focus on technology and the environment. He believes that with today’s easy access to technology, we have the power to sustain our planet in a better way. This conviction is why he appreciates the availability of funds that can make a positive impact on this crucial issue. For Andrea, it’s simple: our planet equals our future, and these investments are steps toward safeguarding both.

Words to Live By

Andrea finds inspiration in the words of Jordan Peterson: “You should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying where you are if it is making you unhappy.” This quote perfectly captures Andrea’s philosophy. It’s this mindset that has driven him to continually seek new challenges and growth, both personally and professionally.
