Bio
Krisanne Edwards
Dario is a reservoir engineering expert who demonstrates a real command of the reserves and economic evaluation process. I was the Reservoir Manager at Tanos Exploration II, LLC (a client of CG&A) and collaborated with Dario to certify Tanos corporate reserves portfolio for private investors and banks. Dario smoothly managed conflicting priorities and occasionally challenging stakeholders, while balancing multiple clients. Throughout he effectively communicated project status and gave constructive reserves management guidance as Tanos' asset base more than tripled. I highly recommend Dario and greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with him.

It gives me great privilege and honor to write this note for Dario. From the time I was introduced to the real world of analysis and simulation techniques, I remember Dario as a person who carved out the road for me to follow. He has in depth knowledge on anything he work or anything he speaks. I have always seen him to be a person with great integrity, project and team management skills. He holds superior leadership qualities and always a good mentor who cares his fellow team members. Above all, he is a very good human being who keeps values and standing 1st for the business and 2nd for the people. It was indeed a pleasure to work with him and I wish all the very best for his future endeavors.
