Almudena Fernandez Sánchez

Role

Project Manager

Location

Madrid, Spain

Almudena has spent nearly her entire professional career at Gleeds, drawn by her love for architecture. Her role as a Project Manager involves working closely with clients on a multitude of projects, managing her team, addressing their personal workload, resolving issues, and supporting the company's administration.

What keeps Almudena motivated is the variety in her work. She finds excitement in the fact that each project feels different due to the diverse sectors she works in.

"Gleeds is like a parent for me who takes care of me", she says, reflecting her deep connection to the company. Thanks to Gleeds, she has built many friendships beyond just professional relationships. 

Her interest in the construction industry sparked at a young age. When she was 10, a trip to the South of France and its stunning architecture solidified her decision to pursue this field. Gleeds offered Almudena a career that spanned various sectors, from education sector to commercial offices and shopping centres, which was an opportunity she enthusiastically embraced. Almudena appreciates the company's people-focused approach and their ability to foster a creative yet realistic work environment. Almudena is proud of Gleeds' recognition in Spain and is honoured to be part of an international company that continues to grow. Her advice to anyone starting at Gleeds is to be patient, learn as much as possible, and enjoy the work.

In her free time, Almudena enjoys classical and modern music, visiting museums, exploring art, practicing yoga and meditations, and hiking. If Almudena weren't in project management, she could see herself working philosophy or sociology fields where she could help people.
