I have known Alberto for over ten years, working with him as a buyer and later as he joined the vendor community. He brings tremendous energy, attention to detail, and passion for his work in his desire to create an optimal solution for his customers. I believe he is, and will continue to be a tremendous asset to any organization fortunate enough to retain his services.

Alberto is that rare combination of experienced manager, detailed analyzer and business spark plug. He was instrumental in growing the business at HomeBase in Building Materials and Hardware while improving the profitability significantly. His reputation is that of an honest excellent buyer and manager with a very strong work ethic and desire to excel. After HomeBase, Alberto proved himself a very effective Service Manager and Business Manager responsible for regional and National Programs. I whole heartedly recommend Alberto without any reservation. He's a rare employee to find.
