About

The way I lead projects and teams is inspired by the simple truth that there is nothing so useless than doing things efficiently that shouldn't be done at all. A few basic principles drive and direct me in everything I do: (1) Believe in people, share your ideas and go for new challenges. (2) Don't make easy things difficult. (3) Do the right thing even when nobody is looking. (4) It’s easy to be a good partner in good times. Be a good partner in bad times. (5) Have skin in the game. Always align interests and share the outcome. (6) Know that the race goes to those who persevere. (7) Manage for results and put the customer in the center of everything.
