Bio
Rafael Muñoz Álvarez
Ricardo is the brightest professional with whom I have worked in my 18 years of work experience. His talent so much technical as in the management, is garantee of success for any project or task in which it is involved.
Joe Rovito
As a team leader, Ricardo is without peer. A patient coach, passionate cheerleader, and tireless advocate. As a communicator, he is engaging, dramatic, and unforgettable. Every presentation, every report, every meeting has a purpose and tells a compelling story. One of the most remarkable things I have ever witnessed was watching Ricardo rescue a meeting that was literally paralyzed by a difficult technical challenge. Everyone was sitting around staring at their hands. He leapt up to the whiteboard and started dissecting: people, time, money, communication & cooperation. And then a few weeks later, I saw him do it again, this time with a challenge well outside his core expertise. And then again. And again. And again. While many people wouldn't know where to start, Ricardo, drawing upon a wealth of experience, his light-speed intuition, and genuine confidence dives right in and solves problems. Hard ones. I am extremely fortunate to have worked on Ricardo's team, and I am hopeful some of his magic rubbed off.
