I have worked with Francisco Rivera for the past three years. He is very meticulous in overseeing large and small scale events in accordance with company regulations, and takes on new responsibilities that extend well beyond the scope of his role, such as incorporating additional due diligence to minimize costs and increase customer service. Francisco also demonstrates leadership skills by mentoring and training new employees. I would highly recommend Francisco Rivera for any job opportunities.
