He has a broad knowledge of business solutions for large entities and keeps himself constantly up-to-date. Together with his outstanding commercial background, he his definitely the right partner to ask when planning a considerable investment.

I saw him growing through his professional development, sneaking through the adversities, moving to a more prolific environment, establishing his own company, moving abroad, gaining reputation, leading larger teams, studying new realities, acquiring new legal and technical skills, and then moving even farther. And that's still going on.
Through all of these years I have never seen him giving in, even in the hardest challenges of both professional and private life. He's always been able to go on without thinking of surrendering nor falling back to compromises. He risked himself and always took his responsibility.
He is a hard worker, goal-oriented and always keeps in mind the objectives.
