Jeancarlo C.

I had a great pleasure working with Rafael, he not only help the team with his expertise but also genuinely cared about others well-being. He is a true visionary with an incredible ability to see the big picture and quickly adapt strategies to solve any challenges. What sets him apart is his multi-disciplinary approach – effortlessly switching between roles and proactively help when needed. Raf is a standout professional, and any team would be lucky to have him on board.
