Vinos, Madrid, Spain


Vinos - a very old, very traditional (read: never upgraded) Spanish wine bar. A different experience. Very. For those who need to try everything. And for those that want to put things into perspective.


Marko Raubar - for a while still vice CEO of Housing, before joining IBM in Slovenia as WebSphere sales. Grew up in Koper with Kras roots, worked for Tobacna and Magistrat International, as an avid mountaineer climbed Triglav 4 times and can also serve as handball referee. Having an almost 2 years old kid, he's reading parenting books, recommends a great wine place Cejkotova domačija in Goče in Vipavska dolina and will one day nurture his own vineyard. Cheers!


Tom Boonen - recently appointed ILOG Sales Leader at IBM in CEE Growth Market Region. Born in Belgium to father veterinarian, knows the other famous Tom Boonen through wide Boonen family gathering, lived in Moscow, Vienna and now back in Belgium. Worked for Microsoft, is a parallel reader, currently crunching on The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. When too much money will not allow him to work for it, orphans around the world will benefit. Immensely. Whatever events and ideas spin around his world, the center of gravity remains with his kids Nathalie and Stefanie and wife Svetlana.


Yo, prosciutto! Hang on there!
