If I had to describe who I am today, I’d say my life is a blend of technology, coaching, family, personal growth, and many meaningful conversations. None of these live separately. My work, my health, my role as a father, and my projects all connect and shape the person I’ve become.
1. How Would Arturo Describe Yourself?
I’m 43, and more aware each year of the importance of taking care of myself. I love food, I enjoy eating well, but I also know that without balance, health pays the price. So I try to stay active, not for appearances, but because I want to feel well and age well.
One thing many people don’t see is that I’ve struggled with sleep for a while. There are nights when I sleep very little, which has forced me to adjust routines, protect my evenings, and be more intentional with my habits. It’s not about being “fit”; it’s about being healthy and grounded.
2. What’s the secret to a healthy and balanced life?
My days usually start early. I focus most of my important tasks in the morning, when I have the most energy and clarity. Afternoons are lighter: organizing, planning, or spending time with my family.
For me, health is discipline combined with common sense. It’s not about being perfect, but about making choices that truly benefit me. Eating better, moving more, structuring my day, knowing when to unplug. Over time, I’ve learned that the body keeps score, and daily habits matter more than we think.
3. What does quality time mean to you as a father?
I’m a father to a teenager, and that role gives my life a lot of meaning. Work and money matter, but they are only tools that allow me to be present with my son and with the people I care about.
I love long conversations after meals. The “sobremesa” is almost a ritual for me. I enjoy talking about life, the world, politics, different perspectives. I get passionate, but always stay respectful. I value spaces where we can disagree without fighting, where listening matters as much as talking.
With my son, I try to teach him about values and about choosing the right people around him. I see my role as guiding him, but also giving him room to develop his own judgment and identity.
4. How do coaching and technology shape your life?
Besides being a project manager, I’m also an executive coach. I run leadership and team-building workshops, something I genuinely enjoy. Helping teams unblock communication and improve how they work together is very rewarding.
I’m also studying again and working on entrepreneurial projects. I like learning, building, and creating solutions. Everything I do connects: coaching helps me lead teams better, engineering helps me structure my workshops, and my personal projects keep me close to real business challenges. That variety keeps me curious and moving.
5. How do you view Oceans’ culture and values?
At Oceans, I work as a project manager, and something I appreciate deeply is the flexibility and trust in our culture. I’ve worked remotely for many years, and I know it only works well when there is discipline and when the company believes in autonomy.
Respect is my core value. As a coach and as a PM, I’ve learned to listen without judgment and to ask the right questions. In moments of tension between teams and clients, that ability to separate the person from the problem has been essential. I try to focus on what happened, not on who to blame. That mindset has helped me guide complex projects to successful outcomes.
Oceans aligns very well with this approach. There’s closeness, openness, and people genuinely willing to help. We are expected to deliver, but we are trusted to manage our time. That combination of autonomy and responsibility is something I value a lot.
6. What advice would you give to someone starting out?
If I could speak to someone young entering the tech world or remote work, I’d say two things.
First: choose your closest relationships carefully. We become a reflection of the people we surround ourselves with. Those five closest people can lift you up or pull you down. Protect that circle.
Second: think in terms of what benefits you, not what you “have” to do. Instead of “I have to study” or “I have to work,” shift it to “It benefits me to learn this” or “It benefits me to be disciplined.” That small change transforms the way we show up in our own lives.
Conclusion
Today I live between multiple roles: father, project manager, coach, student, entrepreneur. Oceans fits naturally into all of it because it gives me something I value deeply: freedom with responsibility. I can manage my time, be present for my son, build personal projects, run workshops, and still deliver strong results.
At the core of everything are a few simple ideas: respect, listening, discipline, and choosing consciously where I invest my time and energy. If there’s something these years have taught me, it’s that building a meaningful life is less about doing it all and more about choosing well and growing with intention.
