Please share a little bit about yourself:
I have been very fortunate in life to have the opportunity to work in different Functions. This gave me the vision to see how to connect different organizations and how to integrate business processes upstream and downstream. I love to be able to use my first language (Spanish) and work with International Organizations. I was born in Cuba and lived in Mexico, Argentina and The Philippines.
Most importantly,I can also say that I have been blessed with a very supportive, loving and intelligent wife that has helped me in my journey.
