But when the group consists of people from different countries, genders, faiths and backgrounds, the result will be a powerful solution where every iteration has been discussed – thus making it possible to find the best result. This is the true value of diversity.” Enrique Vargas del Campo SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER, GOOGLE MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS GRADUATE
