I've had the fortune of working with Pablo for over 2 years now in the digital learning area of Fairfax Media. Not only does Pablo have great technical ability and knowledge of a plethora of learning platforms, his depth in understanding learning and capability from a local and global perspective is undeniably impressive. Pablo is also highly effective in teaching members of his team to drive their capability. His structured approach and direction provides clear direction that is more valuable than any text book.

Pablo was my manager in the Digital Learning team at Fairfax Media. We worked together to help support organization initiatives and strengthen the culture of learning in the workplace. He has been an outstanding mentor and collegue, providing the necessary support and guidance as well as exposure to broaden my skills and perspective. Pablo possesses a plethora of knowledge in technology and business strategy. He is able to quickly capture and conceptualize business needs holistically and provide intuitive & innovative solutions. It has been a great pleasure working with Pablo as he is kind, genuinely caring, a good listener and an absolute team player. I truly admire his positive attitude and value the vast knowledge he has shared with me. I could not ask for a better manager and collegue!
