    Looking for new opportunities.

    I've had the opportunity to meet Roberto and his management skills, right after I've joined the Rotary International club in September last year. At that time he was just starting his club presidency for one Rotarian year.

    It was a pleasure working with him during that time. In many ways his ability to lead the works on the meetings and on several tasks we had within Rotary, gave me great lessons on many aspects.
    Roberto was brilliant when leading the meetings. Very organized and sharp on the schedules.
    He would in fact listen everyone's opinions, and easily guide the group to achieve the targets together, clearly promoting the team work. The atmosphere inside the group was outstanding.
    Roberto could communicate openly and sincerely with everybody in the club.

    It was sure our club was lucky enough to have such a skillful and hard-worker manager, being our president. Lucky also the company who can have Roberto leading the team, it doesn't matter it's only the sales department, or the whole company as a unit. He has proven he is ready for any challenge these jobs naturally bring.
