Meet: Daniela Zito
Technical Sourcer
Country: Colombia
My name is Daniela. I am 28 years old, and I am Colombian and Italian. I have a twin sister, and I love my family—they mean everything to me. I moved to Italy, and I truly feel it has been a unique opportunity that has helped me grow significantly, both personally and professionally. I love ajiaco and spending time with the people I care about, but I also really enjoy sleeping and watching movies. I absolutely love dogs, and one of my biggest motivations in life is being able to help others.
- What initially attracted you to engineering and how have you found inspiration in this career? Although I am not an engineer, I work closely with the engineering and IT world as an IT Recruiter. What initially attracted me to this field was the opportunity to connect talented people with roles where they can truly grow and feel valued. I have always been passionate about Human Resources, and I love being able to help individuals find a workplace where they feel motivated, supported, and happy.
I strongly believe that when people work in a company with a healthy environment and a strong organizational culture, they achieve better results and also experience greater stability and well-being in their personal lives. That belief inspires me every day in my career and motivates me to keep making a positive impact through my work.
- What innovation or technical advancement have you been a part of that you consider to have made a milestone in your engineering field? One milestone I consider important in my field is contributing to more human-centered and data-driven recruitment processes. I have been involved in using modern recruitment tools and platforms to identify talent more efficiently, reduce bias, and improve the candidate experience.
By working closely with engineering teams, I have helped bridge the gap between technical needs and human potential, ensuring that companies hire not only based on technical skills, but also on cultural fit and long-term growth. I believe this approach has a meaningful impact, as building strong, motivated teams is essential for successful and sustainable engineering outcomes.
- What made you choose Mismo? What made me choose Mismo was, above all, the incredible team of people behind it. Beyond the benefits, Mismo truly values and understands us as human beings. From the very beginning, they have made me feel supported, heard, and part of a family rather than just an employee.
Knowing that I am not alone, and that even during challenging moments—both personal and professional—I can always count on the team, has made a huge difference for me. Mismo believes in its people, and that trust and sense of belonging are what motivate me to continue growing and giving my best every day.

It is a place where people are valued not only for their work, but also for who they are as individuals. There is a strong sense of teamwork, trust, and belonging, which makes everyone feel like part of a family.
Mismo fosters an environment where open communication, empathy, and understanding are truly present.
- What learning and development opportunities have you had at Mismo and how have you utilized these opportunities to grow as a professional? At Mismo, I have had the opportunity to grow primarily through hands-on experience, collaboration with different teams, and continuous learning in a dynamic environment. Working closely with diverse stakeholders has allowed me to strengthen my communication skills, adaptability, and understanding of the IT and recruitment landscape.
I have taken advantage of feedback, daily challenges, and exposure to different processes to continue improving my professional skills and to become more resilient, organized, and proactive in my role.
- What is your personal vision of a future where gender equity is a reality in all organizations, including Mismo? My personal vision of a future with true gender equity is one where opportunities, recognition, and growth are based solely on talent, performance, and values—never on gender. In this future, women feel safe, supported, and confident to express themselves, grow professionally, and aspire to leadership roles without barriers or bias.
At Mismo, I envision a continued commitment to fostering these values, ensuring that everyone has equal access to development opportunities and feels empowered to reach their full potential. - What aspects of working at Mismo’s engineering team make you proud and motivate you in your daily tasks? What makes me most proud of working alongside Mismo’s engineering team is the human quality behind the technical excellence. The team is not only highly skilled, but also collaborative, respectful, and open to working together toward shared goals. As an IT Recruiter, it motivates me to know that I am helping build teams where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to do their best work.
Knowing that my work contributes to connecting talented individuals with a team that truly cares about its people is what keeps me motivated and proud to be part of Mismo. - How do you believe the company and engineering can positively impact the world, people’s lives, and make a difference in their respective industries? I believe the company and its engineering teams can make a positive impact by building technology with purpose, improving efficiency, and creating solutions that truly benefit people’s lives. By fostering a strong, human-centered culture, Mismo can continue to drive innovation while setting an example of how companies can succeed by valuing both technical excellence and people.
- What Mismo policies or practices have helped you improve your work-life balance? Mismo has helped me improve my work-life balance by respecting working hours and promoting healthy boundaries. The company encourages efficiency during the workday and does not promote overtime, which allows employees to disconnect and rest properly. Additionally, the benefits and recognition practices make you feel valued, which contributes to a more balanced and sustainable work experience.
- What inspiring advice would you give to someone considering a career in engineering or looking to join a company like Mismo? Choose a path and a company that not only challenges you technically, but also values you as a person. Look for environments where learning, collaboration, and a healthy culture are just as important as results, because that’s where real growth happens.
- What tools or technologies do you use most frequently in your daily work at Mismo? In my role as an IT Recruiter, I mainly use LinkedIn Recruiter and LinkedIn to source and connect with talent, as well as Mismo’s internal platform and databases. I also work frequently with the client database, which supports our recruiting process and helps ensure alignment with client needs.
