I met Ricardo in the European Defense Agency during his career in Portuguese DoD. From the first time I met him, he revealed his competencies in aeronautical engineering, project management and communication in multicultural environment. I really enjoyed working with him and his company.

O Ricardo é uma das pessoas mais flexíveis e criativas que conheci, sempre tendo o "cliente" como sua principal prioridade. Ele é um profissional ambicioso, responsável e "capaz de fazer" acontecer. Tive o prazer de participar na sua vida académica e a sua energia e dinamismo já previa um futuro excelente. Keep the Good Work. Um bem-haja e continuação de sucesso.
