Every challenge starts with a decision: to go one step further than yesterday

SOTAX supports Scientist Mattheis Da Cunha on his journey to Ironman France Nice, combining endurance training with his role at SOTAX Pharma Services lab in Orléans.

At SOTAX, we believe that progress is driven by dedication, consistency, and the willingness to go beyond one’s limits. These values extend far beyond the workplace.

Meet Mattheis Da Cunha, Scientist at the SOTAX Pharma Services laboratory in Orléans, France. Alongside his professional responsibilities, Mattheis is a passionate and highly committed endurance athlete. As a marathon runner and triathlete, he continuously pushes himself to improve and is now preparing for one of the most demanding races in the world: Ironman France Nice.

Preparing for an Ironman requires more than physical strength. It demands discipline, resilience, and the ability to integrate intensive training into everyday life. Thanks to the supportive environment at SOTAX, Mattheis successfully manages this balance. Flexible working hours allow him to structure his training effectively, while the proximity of a swimming facility near his workplace makes it easier to include regular swim sessions in his daily routine.

This combination of professional engagement and personal ambition reflects what we strive to enable at SOTAX: a work environment where people can grow, perform, and pursue their goals <meta content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <style type="text/css">a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } </style> both within their professional roles and beyond.

We are proud to support Mattheis as a sponsor on his journey to Ironman France Nice. In the coming weeks and months, we will share insights into his preparation, including training routines, milestones, and the challenges he experiences along the way.
