A man with muscles and humor: Martín Sabatté with his wife Mary and family.
My name is Martín Sabatté and I am 33 years old. I’ve always lived in San Isidro, a pleasant suburb on the northern edge of Buenos Aires. Here’s where I went to school, and most of my family and friends live here too… It’s my place in the world. In December I married my girlfriend, Mary. I am a happy man; I have everything I need, including humor, and I like to spread good cheer around the team. I think a good relationship with my colleagues and customers makes the difference between an average and a great working day. Inspiring surroundings I studied electromechanics in high school and electronics at university. I started my career working in a family-owned home automation and security engineering company. Five years ago I applied for a job at Endress+Hauser Argentina. It was a good opportunity to start working in industrial automation. On my first day, I was fortunate enough to join the Latin America service training course. It was a great start, learning with inter national trainers and exchanging know-how with technicians around the world. To begin with I worked as a calibration technician, and for the last three years I’ve been working as a Service Business Driver. In this period, we were able to renew our service contract with Unilever and won a new deal with another of the company’s plants. I like teamwork, so this position is great because you get to work with different areas like sales, service and marketing. I enjoy supporting added-value
sales and helping companies to reach their targets. The special situation in Argentina adds more focus in service – import restrictions are a big challenge for all of us. Renowned club In my spare time I play rugby, my passion. I think I’m living my dream playing in the first team of San Isidro Athletic Club (CASI). CASI is the most successful club in the history of Argentina and I’m very proud to be part of it. In 2005 I played on the team that won the Buenos Aires championship. But the most important thing is still to have fun with my friends and make new acquaintances among our opponents. Obviously, it makes me happier when we win. But after twelve years playing rugby, I am much prouder of the friendship and respect of the other players than the medals I may have received.
