Bio
Caio Henrique Birello Zanoni
Daniel was my direct manager for around 4 years during the time I worked in the Manufacturing Engineering department for the KC-390 Program at Embraer. I can surely say that he was one of the best managers I’ve ever had. Enthusiastic, energetic, results driven, very clever, always aiming for the best. Data oriented and with a very strategic and analytical view, Daniel can deal with complex projects and situations and knows how to push his team to find the best approaches and solutions. He is always willing to help anyone in need and knows how to efficiently handle any problem that might come up. My career and skillset, both professional and personal, developed a lot under his management. It was a privilege to work for him. Overall, Daniel is a great engineer, a great leader and a great person.
